Last night, I found several pieces to a pocket watch within about a 15' radius in a yard that I strongly feel is virgin ground. I didn't find the case, but I'm wondering if it's there somewhere. This morning, I had a thought. I wondered why such a solid piece of metal in an area I covered pretty well could have gone unnoticed. I was using the stock coin program....which I have read blocks out gold. If it's there, and if it happens to be gold, should it still be picked up with the stock program? It's all been just a couple of inches deep...even the 1898 IH penny I dug was less than an inch down.
I did really well there (see thread) and I will be going back on Sunday to work it again. My tentative plan would be to hit the area where I found the watch pieces with a more open screen, but what do you guys think?
