Also the one with the washer or ring around it is unusual.
Great finds and photos UB!
UB was wondering if anyone had seen one with something like this washer thing on it, and if anyone had any thoughts about their possible age or any other ideas they might be able to offer.
He was also wondering about how to conserve them.
UB has a proven technique for conserving wood, but was wondering how to conserve the combination of wood and bronze.

Due to the poor beach conditions, I've been targeting modern jewelry at tebeach.. There has been a good bit of it at a few of the Treasure Coast beaches.

That is about the most attractive watch that I've seen. And in great condition!
On the Treasure Coast the surf is very small, but the tides today were unusually big.
There is a little weather just coming off of Africa that has about a 10% of becoming a cyclone in the next 48 hours.
That one is very far away yet, but could be worth watching.
Happy hunting,
