What a treasure... what a story must be contained in that bag! Thanks for the poem and the image that will stay with me!

And we will never know the story, so we get to invent one!

Yes, a story, for sure. (More than one!) Why would anyone have so many watches? Hmmm. If the found silver was minted in Carson City (especially in 1889) you've got more than a story. Don't succumb to cleaning them up. Tarnish is authentic.

These were found 13 years ago, when we purchased and renovated this home. We gave part to the man who found it--he deserved a reward for being honest! My husband took the silver dollars to a coin guy to get them appraised. Nothing earthshaking.

This occurred 13 years ago. No next installment! No answers--the previous owners had died by the time we purchased the home.
