I bet that was the find of a lifetime! I can't wait to find something that I will be able to trace back in time the same way you did with this piece. Incredible job and thanks for sharing!

I found one of those a couple years back... Dont know where I put it, its gold filled and pretty common. I did find a sterling engraved 1 pound pocket watch that was meant for railroad time keeping, I keep that one close by.

Always a thrill to dig one up. Nice video.
