My most amusing find today was this nickel under an old growth oak tree. When I picked it up I noticed the scratch marks on it and realised a squirrel had been chewing on it. This leads me to believe the squirrel buried it. Thought some of you would enjoy that as a side note.

So, I have invested in a trap and I'm going to interrogate squirrels to find out where the gold is.

So, for the other stuff I've found....1.94 in clad, a 1936 quarter, and 6 wheats.

I've found some relics I believe...(I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THEM) ...some buckles and what appears to be a finger loop for a candle holder? I also assume the 3 way buckle is from a horse harness or something like that. The square thing was silver plated so it must have been something decorative.

The watch I found appears to be silver, it was blinging when it came out of the hole and was about 5 inches down.
There aren't any markings on it at all. The back appears to be stainless and is also not marked. The only word is "swiss" by the 6 on the dial. Any input on the watch would be much appreciated.

Nice finds! :icon_thumleft: Looks like you got some exercise digging all those holes! Is there a pattern on the watch or is it rust?
