Years ago when the lake would go down in the winter I would walk the shoreline looking for Indian relics. One day I noticed something odd and it turned out to be a Timex watch buried in the mud. It no doubt had fell off of a fisherman's arm when the water was up. I took it home and cleaned it up good. The time was accurate except one hour behind due to the time change. No telling how long it was down there. I still wear it from time to time. If I were to buy a watch these days I would probably buy one of the fancy Casio units that track the weather altitude and all that kind of stuff.
