Best gear spill I've ever seen. And silver too

Hello all been out swinging it again my partner it away digging hammered coins in Europe
But that's cool I'm digging some cool stuff here too
Found my fist gear spill. Has anyone ever found on before ?
Ahh yea I get the strong coin signal they are everywhere I say. Then I dig flip the dirt gears everywhere. It was an old old clock in the middle of nowhere
Then I get lost in the woods. Nice. So I'm swinging. I get a solid silver signal
Out pops a beauty. Sterling silver st Christopher medal ( I'm lost and find the patron saint of the traveler medal ). Ironic. Lol. Thanks god for getting me home. Thanks for looking
HH and gl East coast

Those old brass gears will blow your ears off. I can only imagine the whole clock!

From the looks of it, the clock gears, they most likely came from a mantle/shelf key wound "gingerbread" style 8 day clock. Popular in the late 19th/early 20th century. Check the cross bar sections of the A frames and might get a maker (Ingraham and Gilbert were common brands). Cool find!

That's a cool find getting all of the clock frame and gears together.
