Learned a Tough Lesson on Sunday

[ivy_walls]

On Sunday I promised my wife I would take the her and the kids to Barnes and Noble hoping the weather would break and I could get out for a little while to hunt. Well as luck would have it the temps were pretty descent for February and a light rain was melting the lingering snow. So after 3 hrs at B&N I got my gear and headed out. There is an area of town where old maps show there used to be a "public square". This is an area that is nowhere near the town so i am guessing it was some kind of park or something, it is currently property adjacent to a school playground. Well to make a long story short I didn't find any thing exciting but i learned a lesson. The ground was still pretty much rock hard and while stabbing at the ground with my knife/digger I nailed a pretty cool item. I don't know if its from a kids toy watch or not, but it is definitely part of a watch. You can see the parts for holding the watch band and to the side is the winder. When I dug it up I looked for other parts but there was nothing else there.

I also dug up a little clad to add to my collection which will some day buy me a one of those top of the line detectors. Any suggestions

Thanks for lookin' !!

Ivy,

That is a neat watch. I've never seen one like it...I agree with Charlie, you need to find more clad. Looks like you had a good day..Spend time with the wife/kids & got to go detecting, that sure sounds like a great day to me.
