huge gold watch!! second gold find ever!! UPDATED PICS OF INSIDE!!!

[Mr Tuff]

so i grab the ole 202 and go get the OK to hit a old 1850s homestead.. the place was hit hard before by the owner. so i give it a go any how. well i started doing my grid work and the targets were far and few but i did manage a 1947d wheat and a 72 dog tag. and a odd end or two. well then i got a good hit and out popped this crusty old watch well i saw that bright color hidding under the dirty crust. give it a rub and holy smokes its gold and fat. so i get back to the home and spent a hour cleaning it up. top ring is a plated gold. the front Assembly looks to screw into the body it is threaded. and the main case looks to be solid gold. total weight 3 ounce. gold weight I'm guessing 2 ounce with the guts out.. but this is what this hobby is all about getting the gold, silver, and relics. this is one of my best vacations so far and tomorrow I'm hitting another 1860s farm house. thanks for looking and best of digs to all MR TUFF

Re: huge gold watch!! second gold find ever!!

OK its open and looks good. its a keystone case and a waltham watch. still need to get it tested to see what Kt it is. 1st pic u can see the were i picked a bad spot to show the plated top ring. u can see a red color inside. 2ND pick is a small test bore on the main case to make sure it was not plate. looks to be gold all the way thru i stopped before i punched thru the case. and it looks like the main front ring is all gold also. both will be tested. weighs in at a Lil under 1 1/2 ounce at 35 grams. from what Lil i gathered watch dates to 1924 if i was looking at the right S# number. the case I'm still working on any help or info will be appreciated. thanks all MR TUFF
