Well this was from hunting earlier today... Oh & I seem to find the oddest mix of items on all my recent hunts!:icon_scratch:

Movado Swiss Quartz stainless wristwatch somewhat recently lost as I found it partially exposed under bushes in local park.

Old "Mans Camp" padlock appears to be brass. It was 4" deep & yes I searched the area for the key & the missing piece but no luck. The keyhole still spins fine after I cleaned it up a little. I can't find any info online about this padlock or the maker for some reason! It's the coolest lock I've ever found!

Unknown Japanese?/Chinese? coin. Pretty good condition was about 5" deep.

JUNK including a Marble, lead fishing weight, whatizit, whatizit, some kind of bracket & what looks like a boat tie off bracket or something very similar like maybe a coat hook?

The reason you could not find any info on lock is because it's a van camp. Cool find.

Thanks tcim for that correct info & ya no wonder I couldn't find info on it! Wish I could have found the key & other piece to it but it's still a cool padlock!

Well thank you Mackaydon! You are just full of knowledge, thanks for sharing with me & everyone else what I had there! I know nothing about nor how to look up Asian coins. A date would be cool but again I can't read freaky deaky Japanese....lol.

Thanks Debby!

I've personally never seen a Movado that looks like this one.. It has a W in a circle at the top of the dial but I assume it's just an upside down M or something. Possibly is a fake for this reason, not sure? There was NO moisture or clouding of the dial area, it needs a battery or else it doesn't work? I did a little looking already & couldn't find pix or info on this watch anywhere so I will look harder later this evening.
