My first watch Fob and a short time later a watch

[Jyverb64]

I've been detecting this property for a while now and it just keeps giving up great finds. I wasn't even sure what it was until I got home and cleaned it off and it was a bit bent up but then I could see it was a watch fob my first one. A short time later and about 20' away I dug a watch that was only 2" down I almost didn't dig it because I thought it was junk, it still has part of the name on the face ____ham and some nice scroll work on the back.

Sweet finds! I found a watch fob earlier this year... still looking for my first pocket watch. Sounds like you have a great site to hunt.

Great finds! I haven't found a watch fob yet, just several watches. None of my watches had a dial, just the outer rim.

I opened the watch up and entered the serial # it comes up as a model 1883 would that possibly be the year of the watch?
