🥇 BANNER 18 k gold pocket watch. !

[Acojoe]

Have not posted in a while, frankly I have had nothing great to post, until today. When out with Cheffer today for three hours and found this 18 K gold pocket watch. Could not believe it when it came out of the ground. Looked it up it’s from around mid 1800. Thanks for your spot Cheffer.

Sweet Gold relic find!

Unbelievable find Joe! I knew that going to work today was a bad idea! You've set the bar awfully high for the season, one of us will have to find a gold coin to beat that! I'll vote banner!

Congrats man, that's on everyone's bucket list can't wait til I find mine one day!

 

[time machine]

Time well spent

It's been said on here to find a gold pocket watch is rarer than a gold coin. The only other one I've seen on here
is the 14 k pocket watch I dug very similar to yours less 4 K. I hope you receive your first Banner.

Thanks all for the nice comments. Been in kind of a rut lately. Second star and cheffer seem to beat me to the silver, started to think my ORX was broken. Just in the right place at the right time.
