Still hunting street tear out downtown, more toasted Injuns, cannot get a date on any of them, though I am pretty sure one is a fatty The pocket watch part is marked Home Watch Co.

WTG Coop. I'd be sure to detect the edges where the curbs were. That's where I pulled a Ben Franklin half last year in my town's street tear out.

I've dug some pretty good stuff from street projects over the years...keep at it man.

Nice saves, way better than my luck. Street work up here just means they pull the top layer and leave the older tar underneath. I hit two last year and only managed a toasted wheat and a marble. All the real nice beeps were still under the next layer of tar...ticked me off!

Home Watch Co would have been an early Waltham Watch Co part. Looks like an 18 size plate.

Street tear-outs are time capsules, really.
Revealing only what they want you to find.
Don't worry, you'll find more - go for it!

If they start scraping the tops off those median strips in between the walkway and the sidewalk you will find some nice coins that aren't toasted. Keep at it!

Big condo project coming soon! Demo of the old YMCA was a year ago, been hunting the curb strips,with good results, until they removed these streets. Some will be abandoned.
