Big Silver in the River

[Masterdan407]

Went down to the river with the AT Pro today with my brother. I was working my way down and I got near the bridge when I got a really solid 94. I figured it would be a can or something, but when I kicked up the dirt I saw something round. I picked it up and noticed it had hallmarks on it! I did some reasearch and found out that it is a pocket watch part from the late 1800s made by Lancashire Watch Co Ltd - Thomas Peter Hewitt. It weighs above a half ounce! I was pretty excited. Too bad the whole thing wasn't there.

Nice silver finding there! I found both sides once but it had no innards at all !

Congrats. Nice chunk of silver. Found one of those last year. Front plate. Been looking for the rest of it ever since. Found another what was gold plated copper as well. Like the silver much better :-)
