Beautiful Day In Ohio

Took advantage of the beautiful day today and went out on a hunt with Diane and my nephew Paul. Paul had a spot that he found an Indian head, a presidential token and some wheats the other day so we went there to try it again. It is an old house teardown and super trashy. I found a couple of artifacts, two clad quarters and a memorial penny. We decided to go to another place and ask permission to hunt a field that had an old house at one time. The people who own the field live in an old farm house, when Paul asked they were super nice and gave permission not only to hunt the field but to hunt their yard. We decided to do the yard and save the field for another time. Paul started the finds with a two wheat pennies, both 1910 then I made my first good find an 1893 Indian Head, Paul then dug a 1920 Buffalo nickel his first ever. Then Diane came over to show me the pocket watch she dug, the back and the face were gone but a nice find anyway it looks as though it was silver plated but most of the plating is gone. I then made my next find a beautiful green full liberty 1904 Indian Head, looks as though it was dropped soon after minting. I closed it out with two wheaties, a little butterfly pin that looks old and a copper ring with decorations on the band. We had a good hunt and plan on going back again.

Really nice hunt, bell, glad you got to get out and hunt. those are some nice looking indians and the watch and ring are very interesting. Craig
 
Real nice finds !

I found a similar looking watch case last summer - mine has no movement at all. My case has a 8 or 10 digit serial number stamped on it.
I found a web site that lets you look up when the case was made by using the serial number. My case was manufactured in April 1893.
If you look at the center of the case in the photo I'm posting you can see where the serial number is.
Send me a private message if you can read the numbers on your watch and I'll try to find the web site for you.

Good luck ! --- Mark
