Default [MOVED] Auto Cycle Watch Fob

Thought I'd rework a backyard that payed off in the past, With a new mind set. I wanted to focus on the deeper softer beeps, Knowing I would have to really dig deep since I've found most the things in the 4 inch range alraedy. First hit was at 6 in's deep and turned out to be a 44-D wheat, Funny, Most the time at that depth in this yard they are early wheats or indians. Got another soft hit, a .22 cal casing at 5 in's, Then a dime reading at 6 1/2 in's it turned out to be what look's like a gold or plated lid??? Then I received a quarter reading, Dug a three inch plug, Nothing, Still in the ground and reading half now, went down another two in's nothing, Still in the ground and reading a dollar now. I went another two in's deeper and saw the watch fob as it turned in the soil. Sweet, I haven't dug a fob in awhile. After wiping the loose dirt, I could see Excelsior auto cycle, Reverse has I am a loyal member of the clan excelsior always on the job. After getting it home I was able to see S.D. Childs and Co. Chicago Funny last one I found was a Whitehead & Hoag. After that I found a lid off of an old pen, and a piece of melted lead. Any info on the fob would be appreciated, I might EBAY it at a latter date, Since I'm a token hog.

That is pretty unusual. What do you think it is made of?

Look's like the watch fob is brass or bronze.
