Scouting an abandoned homestead my son spotted... some gold plate still remains. Garrett Ace 250 and 4.5" sniper coil were used. Through search next winter when insects, poison oak, and poison ivy are dormant.
A Cold winter apparently yields a bumper crop of Pocket Watches!! Yours is about the 5th or 6th one I have seen on here in the past few days. Congrats on a great find!! Keep looking there has to be more there. HH
