Got permission to hunt an old homestead recently. The old farmer told me I could detect the property, but that at least 50 other detectorists had been around the house. I had a couple of hours to spare, so I decided to grab the Sovereign and have a go at this "well hunted" property. It was as I expected, littered with metal rubbish, with the Sovereign nulling out time and time again. I finally got into a few pre decimal coins, including a 1913 penny. I then got a signal and dug down around 10 inches to find an old pocket watch, which was located under half a horse shoe. Unfortunately it was pretty rusted on the inside, but you can still make out a lot of the parts. I was pretty happy as it's the first pocket watch I have found. I am going to go back to the property to hunt it again, this time I hope to get a few coins from the 1800's.
