What a great hunt today. I used the GTI 2500 & my buddy used his GTI 1500. We met at the Golden Arches to discuss the where and how about today. Hit three different places in about a 6 hour hunt.

Here's the basic summary of how it went. Some loot and some relics.

Here's my buddy digging a target. To the right is an old tea kettle I managed to pull out. It had definitely seen better days.........

Amongst my digs, I managed an old bottle. I filled it with water and set it in my ultrasonic cleaner, and it cleaned up nicely. Some green water color helped give a better 3-D effect in the photo.

Here's some odds & ends. The first item on the left is a salt shaker, weighted on the bottom so it can't go get knocked over and stay on its side. It always ends up in the upright condition. Kind of cool.....

I managed to get a silver dime and an older Wheat cent. My buddy dug the chauffeur's badge and the Sam 5 play money.

Here's the watch I dug. Unfortunately, the face was missing, however, it turned out to be a gold watch.

Below is a pic with it all cleaned up. :)
 
Wow! That's an amazing pocket watch find there. It's on my list of dream finds.
Good for you!

Awesome finds! Are there markings anywhere on that watch? By looking @ it i would guess it to be like 1920's/30's era. Really cool!!
 
Years ago got a smaller one( jeweler said ladies that looks about. the same)..Very low gold content below 10KT....Shame how innards rust away and leave discoloration. Again one never knows what lurks before the dig and congragulations on a good hunt..
 
Much better then gold plate. A sheet of brass has a thin sheet of gold attached to it then formed into a watch. It was made to last.....
 
oh well...it was still a killer find dude. i got one i have found prolly bout the same era but it isnt near as nice. just brass with no gold plate or gold filled. i am jealous of yours...lol

i will find me one though....or 2 maybe:)
