Between work, weather, and a new girlfriend, I'm finding it hard to get out this spring. Here are some finds from a couple of my well pounded sites. Hopefully I will get some time to explore for new sites before the weeds grow up and the fields are planted.
.
The first hunt gave up a nice nickel plated suspender buckle and a few flat buttons. On the second hunt, my very first signal was the 1801 LC. Shortly after that I dug the watch winder with the glass jewel. Not much after that, then it started rain and I left. Hopefully over the Easter weekend I will be able to make up for lost time!

Steve, is the soil fairly neutral where you hunt? HH, Q.
Quindy, the soil is generally acidic where I hunt, particularly on the mountain ridges. The site where I dug this large cent is very acidic. Most of the coppers were in very bad shape. This is one of the nicer ones.

Keep at it kid,,, To busy are you, LOL... That is the first intact jeweled winder I have seen. Very cool, and love the large. Keep at it, I enjoy your posts.

Arty,

I have only ever dug 5 watch winders that I can think of, but 2 of them had glass in them. Here is the other.
