Gold Seeker Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Lot of nice relics, some info on the bottle.

F350Platinum Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Strick, I love those Western relics! Well, all but the thingy from CT. Waterbury was quite the manufacturing town in the 1800s. It's pretty much done now. 🙄 Great buckles and suspender bits. 👍 Your stone presentation always gets me. 😀 Sounds like a great time was had by all. You are a tough act to follow. 👍 Here's a link for a Locle Patent Lever watch, looks like a name is engraved on the plate. Hard to tell whether yours is silver, gold plated, filled, or just gold. 🤔 https://tamarackshackantiques.com/shop/ulysse-perret-locle-patent-lever-pocket-watch-silver-case-for-repair-23312/ Cool bottle too! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Yes, cool finds. I like the bottle. Did you get the bottle out of a hole you were digging for a target? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strick Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 Thanks fellas the bottle was an eye find..it was half buried when spotted. I tumble basically everything but coins overnight in my thumbler tumbler use aquarium rock/water/soap and a bit of CLR...put a gold ring in there and it will come out super polished in a few hours. 350 yea the watch part has what looks like a name on it..maybe some do gooder can track them down...I'd be more then happy to return it 🤣 can anyone tell me what this was? seems to have an owl or a fish on it? also a pic of a few buttons. strick 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Nice hunt again with some really neat finds, how long did it take to dig all of that. Good luck on your next hunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought it was some kind of escutcheon, like a lock plate or the back of a door pull or drawer pull, but it lacks the symmetry and countersinking that those things would have. Tried lensing it but got no exact result. Then I thought maybe a sword crossguard but the tang would be too small and off center. Took me a while to see the fish that make up that owl... 🤔 Nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathray Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Nice . You do a good job of cleaning up your finds. I'm usually wiped out at the end of a hunt. Relics pile up, till I get a rainy day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The watch part looks brass but I did tumble it. This is one was plated but you can only see it on the inside...still looking for that whole gold or silver antique watch... strick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
