I went out door knocking Saturday with Tony Two-Cent & Noah. I didn't do to well on old coins, just a few wheats, a rosie and a merc.
But near the end of the day I a got a sweet silver tone at about 6 inches.it was probably actually a little deeper than that. When I pulled it out it looked like the typical trash that we dig.
Then I rubbed the back and realized I just dug a Silver pocket watch. It definitely made my day!!
Turns out it's an 1890s ladies silver pocket watch attached to a silver pin. I opened the back and saw that its stamped 0.800, Swiss, a serial number and a makers mark (swiss wood grouse hallmark)
To a watch collector, it apparently doesn't hold much value, but as a metal detectorist, it has to be one of my best finds.
Thanks for looking!
