clockwork?

[stealth]

I recently went to Block Island,Rhode Island and I found this buried under the beach. I am having speculations on where this is gold or not or what it even is. It looks like the inside of a clock or something. Its not magnetic and its 6.3 centimeter by 5.7 centimeter

Yeah, it is the inside of a clock. I found one the other night attached to the round case with the wind knob still on it.

I agree! Here are some parts I've found all buried together.

Yep.  That's what they are.

We had a Tnet Watch and Clock show here--it was a great thread, and it appears to have been DELETED.    But I was gonna give ya a link to that one--because there were a bunch of those pieces on there...


I'm sure you remember that thread, right Jim? You'd asked that the fobs be separated from the rest and started in a new thread?


Oh well.

Do you plan to restore the clock now that you have that part? I've seen people take automobile frames and build the car around it, same with old military armoured tanks too and even pistols and rifles. Would be interesting to the the clock in an exploded view too! Sarge Booker of Tujunga, California

Thanks. You guys are really quick in answering this stuff.... I can not repair the clock unfortunately because I do not have all the pieces, an answer to hhbooker2's question. As for a stupid question, does anyone know if its gold, gold plated, brass, etc.?

Dont use any names. I searched with keywords "clock" and "watch" and it popped up second choice.

The piece is brass.


You'll dig gold or silver plated brass eventually for comparison.

P.S.--thanks for the Search tip, BigCy.
