Silver Coins, Gold Pocket Watch, Australian Large Cent, Buttons, Old Key, Token

[Captn SE]

Hello forumites,

It's been a while since I last posted. Been trying to let my finds build up, but as you can see, the silver is getting real stingy in my area; one here, one there. But I did make some other interesting finds while looking for the deepies.

The watch was quite a surprise at 1" under the surface. It's an antique ladies pocket watch (Molly Stark model), made by Hampden Watch Co., which was making watches here in the US between 1877-1930. It's gold filled with 7 jewels, and the serial # inside dates it's creation to 1911-1912.

The token is an advertising spinner token for an old brand of straight bourbon whiskey, Park & Tilford, circa early 20th century.

Some other finds are an old key, some cool buttons, which still have gilt on them. One button has the picture of Queen Elizabeth on it. The large coin is a 1933 Austrailian large cent, which was holed on the top, probably worn as a pendant. Not pictured, are about 30 wheaties, which I dug last week.

Hope to find some new places which have been un'Explored soon.

Thanks for looking,
CAPTN SE
Dan

Dan,
You know I love silver as much as the next guy, but your relics and tokens take the cake. Fantastic digs, and a neat variety too. Congrats on that old pocket watch.
Good luck on you search for new spots. How could anyone turn that face down?
