Landseer Pocket Watch

The latest artefact we have unearthed, is a Landseer pocket watch that can be viewed in the video below. Its name is linked to Sir Edwin Henry Landseer, a notable English painter and sculptor who famously created the four bronze lions that surround Nelson's column in Trafalgar Square, London. How Alfred attained such a watch, and why it was kept in such pristine condition is still a mystery to us. If you have any theories, let us know in the comments section.

The Lock Box and Ring

We have just restored this small wooden box, which features carvings similar to that found on the large chest. This leads us to believe that the two are linked, probably through the craftsman who created the two objects. However, unlike the chest found at the lake site, this smaller box utilises a rudimentary lock mechanism, causing us to think that it may have used as some sort of safe. Yet, when it was opened only a silver ring was found. We were hoping to find some sort of documentation that could shed light on the overall mystery, but generally we’re still pleased to have discovered something that Alfred obviously held dear. Why the ring was kept in this kind of container is still unknown to us.

What are your theories? Use the comments section below, to tell us.
