February 15th find in the woods

[Giant056]

I hit a patch of woods that I've been hunting for years yesterday and managed to extract an old Wittnaur wristwatch. I like tearing the old ones apart to check serial numbers, etc. to see if I can figure out when they were made. This watch was made between 1926 and 1927. It's the same woods that I found my goldfilled pocket watch in this year, I've found many silvers, buffalo's, V nickels, Indians and all kinds of wheats in the past 10 years or so. I also found another old goldfilled pocket watch here about 3 years ago that dated around 1890, it's an Elgin.

Neat one! How is the ground?

Very nice indeed. Wittnaur watches are fine swiss timepieces. The movement alone could be worth some money. I would call a watchsmith and get an estimate.
