My first pocket watch, comb, and silver.

Well I hunted a usual spot wednesday at dawn, got some clad and a 194? merc some fishing stuff an a little clad.


Today I went out and hunted a new spot that got me a 1910 wheat and a 53 rosie. Left that spot (will be going back) hit some woods that yielded nothing. I ended the day at a park that my friend Kschae4 and I hunt often. The ingersoll yankee pocket watch was on the surface under a foot bridge burried in some weeds. According to the serial number its from 1928. The comb and clad was from another section of the same park. Enjoy and happy hunting!

Rusty, great mix of finds there. That pocket watch looks in really good shape. I like the details on the comb,is it silver plated ? Seems like a good variety of brass items,too. Way to go!

That is a great assortment of finds..... From the looks of the Merc, you have a lot of iron in your ground or you did a great job of seperating the merc from a close iron object.

That Merc is looking in bad shape....and IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SILVER? I've
never seen silver is such bad shape.

Salida, this is common for the mercs that I find in heavy iron and salt water this is a pic if one that the silver bubbled off of.

Heavy iron both mineralized and chunks everywhere.

Good assortment of finds there Rustydigger! It looks like you have a piece of copper pipe there next to your sinkers. Do you recycle? I usually get about $1,000 per year for scrap copper and brass - gas money!

Happy Hunting
