Haven't been able to get out for the past two months, due to heat here (100+ almost everyday) and health, but I was able to slip out this morning before daylight for a few minutes, and was happy I did. I didn't find anything of great value, but it beats sitting/laying around in the house all day! Just as the sun was about to come up my X-TERRA 705 gave me a solid TID 46. I pinpointed the exact location and cut a plug, when I pulled it out of the hole, 3" down was a stainless steel watch band! I carefully uncovered the rest of it and after cleaning it off a little, I discovered it was a stainless steel Nate Fossil watch. When I got home and cleaned it up, I found a model number and called the manufacture in Texas. The lady told me the watch had been made in 2012, and it was valued at $125, a nice little surprise! I also found some clad and silver Hot Wheels Corvette car, this was a great little hunt and I got my MD "fix." When I got home, my dear wife was patiently waiting for my return, as I just got out of the hospital yesterday.

The only watch that I have ever found was a Timex and it disproved their old statement that A Timex takes a licking and keeps ticking..
It was not running. A watch that is still running is an outstanding find. Get Well and get back to the urgent business of cleaning targets out of the ground. So much lost stuff and so little time to find it.

I just got the watch back from manufacturer the other day, they put on a new crystal, bezel, and watch band. They also pressure tested it to 3atm and put the guts in a new case, actually I just about ended up with a totally new watch! You never know what you're going to find in those old hunted out parks
