old clad, pocketwatch and a marble.....

[cjon455]

not much of a story, working on a new house on a property that i think was an old homestead years ago w/my brother and found pottery after we dug footers which got me curious. found a pocket watch, 51 in clad and a marble in 15 minutes. I just didnt have it in me today cause my hands are still sore from yesterdays 180+ holes i dug lol, thanks for looking and HH!

Nice finds - sure wish the watch would have survived cjon455.

Thanks leslie, yeah I hit my fairground the day before and the ground was like hard compacted clay, I think im working on a little arthritis or something. But i suppose 9 bucks in clad (140+ coins) in a cpl hrs was worth the effort
