Very neat watch fob and history lesson.

Thanks, Brad!

We are really enjoying your videos, including your comments and extras like the Chicago Exposition. We are both in our 70's and new to metal detecting 2 years ago due to a birthday present. Here on the Kansas/Missouri border our best finds (by far) have been several Civil War era bullets. We look forward to many more of your videos!

What a kind thing to say, Tom! Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you so much for the scubapony shout-out in the beginning of your video!!! This latest video of yours is the best one yet! You have a gift of getting peoples attention and keeping it while still showing the not-so-great pieces, along with the really great finds. That souvenir watch fob from the world's fair was phenomenal! I had no idea that there was a case opener on the bottom of some of these.

Thanks for watching and for the kind words. :)
