Wow that's cool. What does the watch look like? Pictures?
I bought an old leather-bound Spanish bible at a library book sale for a dollar. Flipping through it, I found several religion related newspaper clippings. Then, I turned a page and there was an Elvis Presley autograph. I stopped breathing! Since I frequent thrift stores and estate sales I often find little neat tidbits, but that will probably remain the best ever!
The Older Generation around here often said that storing your will in a Bible meant it had to be accepted as valid, but so far I've yet to find one of those.
Bibles are great places to find interesting things tucked away. I collect different translations, and over the years I've found money -- usually, for some reason, silver certificates -- along with lots of prayer cards and newspaper clippings of inspirational articles. Some of the more unusual items include V-Mail letters, novelty postcards, pressed flowers, ticket stubs, and once, a lock of somebody's hair sealed in an envelope.

You must post photographs, Mr. Spade. And welcome to the Lounge
I don't think so, at least not anything that would hold up in court. But all the old ladies I knew growing up said that was what you were supposed to do.
I had my will stored in a copy of the "Baseball Encyclopedia," but I don't think that's the same thing.
