Wow and Wow...Great job! Better yet, please post some of your other finds. Just looking at that manor makes me drool for a detector.

I will be posting them soon-the coppers have been soaking in mineral oil. Based on what I found I don't think the property has ever been detected.

Great photos and even better story. What a stand-up thing to do in returning it to the family from whence it came! One of the great return stories on this site and definitely deserves an Honorable Mention!

WOW... That is a stunning find!
When you told me you found a pocket watch, I had no idea it would be that sweet. That is one awesome find! I think that was a really class act move to return it to the family.
I would have been torn between greed and doing the right thing... it would have been an epic battle between right and right now!
Is this a banner find? It's 18K and 100 years old... and that monogram is killer, as well as identifies the long lost owner. Let's see what the other TNet members think. It would look nice up top...
Congrats on a really nice find, as well as kudos for the return.

I think this is a banner find. Great photos, and the watch was given back to the descendants. This needs to be on the banner for those reasons:
High Value and made of solid gold
Great photos and story
Returned to the family
Congrats on such a great find, and having an awesome story to tell--and most importantly for doing the right thing!
Best Wishes,
Buck
