    Nice pocket watch. The only complete one that I ever found was a real cheap model.

    If you ever decide to try to open the pocket watch and if the inside are too corroded, give me the serial number and I can give you a good idea of the date of the watch.

    Nice find on the pocket watch. I can't make out what is on the ornate keyhole escutcheon. Is it a picture of something ?
    Oldest find: 5,000 year old copper spearhead
    Oldest coin: 1699 William III halfpenny
    Purdiest coin: 1832 Capped Bust quarter
    Coolest find: USA button with blue threads still on shank

    normally you can take a pocketknife, along the back edge and it would pop off
