BEAUTIFUL GOLD POCKET WATCH AND A 1803 HALF CENT

[Vino]

So met up with Carolina Tom and Smittyman at lunch time.
They caught a flight early this morning and landed in Philadelphia at 10am. I text them a address were to go. By 11am they were swinging. Lol.
I caught up with them by 12pm..
Great guys!!! ( for southern boys) lol.
Not 10min into hunt I get this awsome mid tone deep..
Thats when i pulled the watch out.
Man this this is beautifully if i say so myself. .lol.
Tom almost crapped himself. .
Then we all together hunting this area, and I get a nice deep high tone.
I get Tom to check it with his detector, then I get Smittyman to check it.
Anyway i dig down around 10inchs and the half cent comes out!!!!
I hand it to Smittyman and say what is it?? They dont know, they have never seen one before! !! Lol.
I get it back a wipe it and say OMG!!!
Its a freaking 1803 half cent..
Did not expect that at this place
Well right after that i pack my detector up and say im out of here.
You boys go find the rest..
There still there..
Hope they find the same??
But im sure glad I got my!!! Lol.
Ps. This is a new spot, I found it just for them;-)
Thanks for looking, and I look forward to seeing what they find. Were meeting up for dinner later.

When you texted me I barely glanced at the finds and didn't realize that's a half cent. Nice score. Looks like the 1803 half cent I found a little over a month ago! Lol.

Now the pocket watch is amazing. I've only found 2 guts and 3 bodies but never a whole. Any dating to that?

Congrats bud

That is one killer looking pocket watch! The half cent Isn't to shabby either. By the way, cut us N.C. boys a little slack
