June 27th water hunt at the county park

[Giant056]

I found 4 earrings bobby pins, kids ring and a quartz watch without the crystal and I kind of suspect it was lost when I was attempting to scoop it out of the water I've only got three earrings showing cause the fourth (big hoop earring) was returned to the owner who showed up about 10 minutes after I found it and was out in the area where I was when I found it and asked her what she was looking for. The watch was ticking when I took the pic but the battery ran down already from a quick charge I gave it with a 9 volt. One thing nice about fresh water if a watch gets wet and is not in it too long you can blow it out with an air compressor and let it dry and usually a recently lost watch can be revived, maybe I'll find another watch with the same crystal

What does Japan most mean.

Japan Movement Greg, most intermediate watches are a Japan movement, the real super cheap ones are usually China

Dale you might remember seeing me post this one, I found this in a football field in 2009 and I'm still wearing it today, it didn't have a band on it when I found it so I put a band on it and am on my third battery since I found it but it still keeps fantastic time.
