Was out at a friend's lake place and found this near their pavillion.. Again, the pictures are not too good. Sorry. One side says Drink Coca Cola in Bottles 5c. The other has an image of a girl holding up a drink. This piece of metal hasn't cleaned up really well, lots of green, that I don't believe is suppose to be there.
Congrats on the fob. Were you able to date it?
I don't know where to begin to date it. Very new to researching relic finds. Not too good with technology either.Originally Posted by Timewarpdigger
it looks to be made of either copper or copper alloy (hence the ruddy red metal) that was gold gilted at one time , probably early 1900's judging from the hard green patina build up.

Thank you all, for looking and replying. It's how we learn! I had no idea regarding the age or how it got where it was. Guess i'll go back and see what else may pop up.
Nice Fob! I really like the fobs as they tell so much about the times.

Thank you, Tom. Yes, I actually notched out the iron for this hunt, because it was around the pavillion where the owner's have parties/gatherings and the lawn is fairly nice. I was practicing my plug digging with my new digger tool. I first thought it was a dog rabies tag when I lifted it out of the 6" hole! I was barely able to read 'coca cola' in the field without my specs. Now I'm ecstatic to know it's potential age and relevance. Can't wait to show/give it to the prop. owner.Sweet find there Kasey, bet that was better than finding iron.
Very cool

Nice old fob. As Drew said it is 1907 and it makes for an early Coca cola collectable.
