<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 3197649, member: 17665"]I'm sure you probably already know this but...if you have your detector set to reject tin and iron, dig deeper when you get hits for this. Many times there may be something bigger covering something smaller. A horseshoe may be hiding a coin under it for instance. Most old dumps were layered so don't always trust the detector. I go with my gut instincts. Surface dumps can be very misleading I have found. You can start by finding stuff from the 60's on top and the deeper you dig the older everything gets. Try dating the watch by bringing it to a jeweler. This may give you a better idea of the era you are in. I'm guessing you are somewhere near the WW 1 era at this point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
