First intact Pocket Watch.... from an early 1800s house.

Evolution · Jul 24, 2014

My buddy Tony and I were able to get out for a hunt today. We hunted an early 1800s farmhouse that is still in use. Found 2 indian heads along the driveway not too long into the hunt (1884, 1897).

I kept hunting along the driveway and got s solid +84 hit on the DFX. At 3 inches out popped a nice religious medal. Unfortunately its not silver.. its one of those cheap light metals that they love to make those religious medallions out of.

Also found a 1916 wheat and a 1935 Canadian cent in this area.

Made my way around to the side yard and found a few interesting things. First find was a piece of a coin purse :love10:

... needless to say I hunted the whole area slowly to find the coins that were in it... apparently there were none... :icon_scratch:

Pictures of the coin purse piece are in the compilation pics at the end of the post. I also found a piece of a shoe buckle, a ring that looks to be junk even though it shines pretty well, and then I popped out a nice 10 cent trade token.

Not far from the token I got a rock solid unwavering +90 hit on the DFX. Pinpointing at 6 inches deep. Turned out to be a nice seemingly intact pocket watch that is either copper or brass. I'm currently soaking it to see if I can clean it up a bit. Hopefully I'll actually be able to open it up without breaking it.
