Silver Pocketwatch

[romeo-1]

I posted this a few months ago at the time I found it. It is still my best find. It was completely intact when I found it at about 8 inches in hardpack clay. Took a long time to dig it out and I almost gave up on it a couple time...that is until I saw a glint of silver.

I plan on beating this find very soon...maybe this weekend!

Geez, that's a tough find to beat. I've gotta do better than a half-dime tho'. It'll happen, It WILL happen.

Looks like an early key wind case. There is no stem winder or hole for one. You would open the case and insert a key in the back of the watch mechanism to wind it..Key wind watches are fairly hard to find.
