MY SON DID GOOD, Me not so much

[Digger Don]

Saturday morning, my son Alec and I met up with Tony two-cent for a day of hunting. We met up at a little town located about half way between us. We tried 2 spots there and neither were very productive, a couple of wheats for us. Tony did a little better, but thats a story for him to tell. After a quick stop at Casey's for pizza and a pop, we headed to another town that we hit a few weeks ago. Alec dug a few more wheats which gave him a total of five. I got some practice time in with a bunch of clad. After a few hours there, we decided to call it a day and we all headed home. On the way home, Alec and I stopped at one more park where he found a cheap " key to my heart" necklace and a nice .925 silver ring.
Sunday morning we hit a school that was built in 1916. Alec found a very cool watch Fob from 1910." Wool growers association 46th annual convention "
and five more wheats.
Thanks again to Tony for his help with our E-trac. It was a pleasure hunting with you.

As always, sorry about the picture quality.

Seems like a some decent hunts to me. Never disappointing when your son hits some older coins and the Watch Fob is a real keeper. Nice hunt and keep swinging Wisconsin Digger

Awesome finds! That wool growers fob is amazing. I wonder if it hung from a suspension ribbon instead of a watch chain though? BTW, here's a link to a news story from 1910 Ogden paper about the event. http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85058398/1910-01-10/ed-1/seq-2/

It's quite an interesting story to read.

I just made an account lol. I have been researching this event and this fob in general for the past hour, I have not found a value of the fob, nor anything about the event, just some wool growers association from South America, I am still trying to see if this fob has any sort of value to it, I want to keep it, but if it is worth money, I may ask my dad to sell it. This fob is very cool, but i am saving for an E-trac, lol. Every bit helps right? Lol, thanks DaddyDigger for the info btw. Hopefully it is worth something, I can't even find a picture of it.

Thanks for the link, you're right, it was an interesting article. It's kind of cool to find something that old that has a traceable history.

Wow, that fob is AWESOME, Alec! I would rather find that than a common silver coin any day! And it even has the date on it, very cool!

Nice silver ring too! :thumbsup02:

Nice finds. And the only pic not so clear was of the wheats. However, who hasn't seen a wheat before anyway?

You gotta love getting out with your son. I know I enjoy every time my daughter asks to go. Congrats on your finds!
