Default Rings And Help With ID

I have been back to the same field I have been hunting and have pulled out several more neat finds. Pulled a few more wheats but still only one silver. I pulled my first wedding band the end of last week. It is the smaller one. I got back out on Tuesday and found the bigger band. They appear to have been silver plated at one time. I also found the item from Hotel Meyer Norfolk Virginia that I need ID help on. Need any info and possible date of such an item. Happy Hunting All!!

Very good finds! The rings look old as heck. Hotel Meyer thing looks like a room key fob to me also. I did a quick search and no such hotel is around now. I hope you ge an ID on it. Good hunting, Beale.

Default Key Fob

The key fob may very well be from the Moses Myers House in Norfolk...1800's to 1950.

Nice finds I really like the hotel Meyer tag. I would think it would be a door tag? Room # 102
