Coin hunting turns into time stopper.

[firefighter35]

Hey, went out to a neighbors house for about 30 mins today. It had just rained over night so i thought i would find some coins. Well, found 1 wheaty, a 56 and a few other items. I had a signal that bounced all over on the 250 so i pinpointed and dug down 3 inches. Found a pocket watch. My very first. Its in horrible shap, but i sprayed it and opened it up and can read Columbia Watch Co. There is no face on it but still will look nice in my display of all the other finds i got. Thanks for reading.

well with a 3 year time span 1896 to 1899 that really narrows the date of manufactor down to a tee.

Cool finds!!

Looks like you got part of an old kid's gyroscope toy. I found one this spring.

What's the tag?

Kimsdad:
Good call; I agree about the gyroscope:
