Prospecting
I decided to hunt the woods as out in the sun it was just too hot. I made some nice finds including a small pendat (didn't find a piece of jewellery for a while) when I received a nice "round" signal. Dug up a housing of a pocket watch totally empty on the inside. I like pocket watches anyhow and kept on detecting. Only a 2 yards from the spot I found the inner piece of that watch, cleaned it immediately as good as I could out in the woods and put it together real quick. Maybe I'm a "little different" than others but I strongly believe in things that belong together have to be put together and it makes me feel real good if I have such chance. I'm thinking how long have those pieces been working together and how many years have they been separated from each other? Maybe I'm too sentimental but I put them together and will store them with all the rest of my treasures. Best of luck 2 U all.
