Now where did I leave off?

[ModernMiner]

Welcome back!
Here are some keepers that I've dug recently since the big crash of 2010. They came from a few different properties. I finally got the silver monkey off my back with a 40' Merc. The pocketwatch cover is a beauty and it's stamped "925/1000 Fine". (silver) Other finds are an 1800's padlock, brass goose, angel charm, CW belt adjuster, 3-ringer, suspender clip

I will be posting my finds from today after this post. I'm still cleaning.

Thanks for looking,
MM

Thanks Jeff. I agree, that would have been one beautiful watch.
It looks like a large letter "O" on the front.

Nice finds MM. Watch covers are rarely found like that. That pocketwatch cost someone a pretty penny in the day. As I told you before, you have a CW period belt adjuster there too. The "butterfly" buckle is a puzzle. Ladies shoe buckle perhaps? HH, Quindy.

Sweet finds. Some history, some silver, some good feelings of accomplishment. WTG.

The belt adjuster was a pleasant find. Thanks for that ID buddy.

Nice Doug!

I'm glad you got that silver monkey off you back

With style too. Nice man

For some reason, the style on the buckle seems to be screaming late 1800's early 1900's

Thanks. It's the best pocketwatch piece I've found so far. Hopefully the rest is in the yard somewhere too.

What a beauty of a watch cover and a nice display piece!!!

Great finds for sure - I really like that cool goose!

Nice finds! The buckle looks to be a trapezoidal but I couldn't reference it in my book so I would go with the environment where it was found and say 1800s. HH, Mike

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm always amazed at the variety of stuff that comes out of the ground. It's like a box of chocolates.
