Well, went back to the place where i found the walking liberty half previously. i went back to the aerials after finding it and discovered a walking path right through that area. so, i hit that area again. i found this pocketwatch (yeah, it's in rough shape!) in about 10 minutes. ill try to get the case off to try to date it. back looks silver plated.

Cool, have you tried opening it yet?

Yes, i got the back open, but there isnt much to see. im going to do hot peroxide tonight to see if i can get any writing to come out. gears are all metal, so that's older.
 

Cool, goodluck on cleaning it, would be cool if the owners initials or name is on it.
