Had a chance to hunt an old brick foundation with fire place and chimney still standing. It was about a hundred feet in from the river and very trashy. My best piece was an enamel pocket watch face with some of the etched numbers still visible. I’m not sure if the small gear is from a pocket watch also.

Second best is the buckle. It is rather small and it seems very old. Any guesses out there as to the type or age?

Thanks for looking! :icon_thumleft:

Looks like a bunch of junk to me...:tongue3: But seriously, I like digging pocket watch pieces, harmonica reeds, buckles and other relics. Looks like you had a good hunt. :hello2: Where you using the Ace 250? I bet you just scratched the surface of good finds at that site. Good luck on your next hunt there.

Thanks, Loco-Digger! I was using the Ace 250 and barely made a dent there.
