Here's my watch story. About 15 yrs ago, I received a Swiss Army stainless pocket watch for Xmas, and carried it all the time. I usually carried it in its little leather "wallet" in my pocket. About 10 years ago, it was missing upon my return from a successful afternoon of deer hunting. I realized that, once again, I'd mistaken the access slit in my coveralls for the pocket and it had probably fallen out of my pant-leg as I walked over to the dress the deer from the spot I'd been standing when I took the deer. I had checked the time (3:50 PM) right after she went down, before I went over.

Next spring, I rented a metal detector for 1/2 day and re-traced my steps from where I was standing on watch to the place I'd dressed her out; then, from there to where I'd parked the van. I found all sorts of metal do-dads, none of which were of any value--old rim for a headlight, some cans, other scraps...but no watch.

That Xmas, my girlfriend bought me another!
