Decades ago, James Steele, a hardworking and dedicated farmer in his 95s, experienced a heartbreaking moment when he lost his beloved Rolex watch while tending to his cattle on his dairy farm in Shropshire. The incident happened when the strap of his watch broke, and it fell somewhere in the farm. Despite his best efforts, James was unable to find his watch, and he had to accept that it was gone forever. His searches turned up empty, and he even consulted a vet who suggested that one of his cows might have accidentally swallowed it along with a mouthful of grass.
Fast forward 50 years later, James' lost watch was finally discovered by Liam King, a metal detectorist who was combing the farm for treasures. To everyone's surprise, the watch was found in a cowpat, and it was still intact. James couldn't believe his luck when he was reunited with his long-lost timepiece, and he was grateful to Liam for his amazing find. However, the watch wasn't in perfect condition, as half of the bracelet was missing and the face had turned a greenish color. Despite this, James was still amazed at how well-made the watch was to have survived 50 years buried under the ground.
When asked about getting the watch fixed, James revealed that he won't bother, as it would be too expensive. Instead, he plans to keep it as a lovely keepsake and a reminder of the amazing journey it went through. His son, Andrew, who runs the farm with James, also expressed his gratitude towards Liam for finding his father's watch. Interestingly, Liam was initially searching for coins but ended up finding something even more valuable.
As for James, he never thought he would see his Rolex again, and he was content with just having it back in his possession. The fact that it was discovered by Liam's metal detector, which had begun pinging, was nothing short of a miracle for James. He also acknowledged that Liam could have easily kept the watch for himself, but instead, he chose to return it to its rightful owner.
In the end, James' lost watch may not be in a wearable condition, but it holds a special place in his heart. It serves as a reminder of the past and how well-made it was to withstand 50 years under a field. James may not be able to wear it anytime soon, but the memories and sentimental value attached to it are priceless.
