I'm always interested in old things and how much they might be worth. Disney items are among the most sought collectibles. In the past I showed some Disney items that were found with a metal detector, but here is a Disney item that they expect to sell for over $700,000.
According to Reuters, LOS ANGELES, June 2 (Reuters) - Walt Disney's first map of his planned Disneyland theme park in Southern California is going up for sale in June and could fetch up to $900,000, auctioneers said on Friday.

If you do a lot of detecting and don't discriminate them out, you'll find a lot of watches. And the chances are good that sooner or later you'll find valuable watch. Mostly those are watches made by companies that you would recognize.
If you want to get an idea about how valuable they can be, here is a Sotheby's watch auction site.

Hurricane season has begun.
Happy hunting,
