Short cellar hunt produces a silver pocket watch.

[prolab69]

Had a short 2hr hunt at a cellar hole this morning, wanted to use the cool morning temp to avoid the bug mass. Did walk away with a nice silver pocket watch. no jewels or precision craftsmanship,
just a silver case with rusted guts.

Very nice watch case......

Nice case! Even though it's a bit dinged up you could probably get it restored and new guts put in and have a nice watch to keep track of your hunting time.....

Have you ever tried Citronella oil to keep the bugs off they hate the smell its a natural repellent you can find it online my Grandmother used to put it on us kids and we never got bitten.

That is an outstanding find ! On the inside of the lid do you have some hallmarks that you can show close ups of ? Dating is
very possible - and the makers as well !

Nice find Prolab. I love those cellar holes. It's amazing to see what people have lost or left behind. For some reason the black flies were almost non exixistant this year, but the ticks are making up for them.
