Ten minutes to hunt and this is what I found

While waiting for my daughters school bus to arrive, I sometimes search around my yard with my detector. I decided to search in front of the garage this time, as I realized I have never looked there. This was my find, I know it is a pocket compass, but am uncertain of possible times it may be from, any suggestions?

Hard to tell, but I'd say pocket watch instead of compass. A compass wouldn't need a winder.

Nice find! It looks more like a watch than a compass to me.

Caboose, it looks like a Vintage WWII Compass. Congrats! Maybe a Waltham, Wittnauer.

Saw one of these in goodwill a few days ago, funny to see this posted. It is a compass.

I'm starting to wish I bought the one at goodwill the other day.
