Rolex watch ‘eaten’ by cow found 50 years later

News Desk :
Thanks to a metal detectorist, a 95-year-old British farmer’s prized Rolex watch, which he believed was eaten by a cow, has been reunited with the timepiece half a century later.
James Steele said he lost the watch in the early 1970s when he “suddenly realised” its bracelet had broken, reports BBC.
“The cow could have eaten it with a mouthful of grass, the vet said,” the BBC quoted Steele from Shropshire as saying.
Now, a metal detectorist has given back the watch to the owner of Treflach Hall in Morda, Oswestry, after finding it on his land.
Steele described the discovery as a “stroke of luck” and said it was “amazing” after all this time.
“I was quite pleased because I never thought I would see the watch again,” he said.
“But I have got it now. I only have half the bracelet – the other half must have disintegrated.
“I have the watch but it is not going. The face has gone greenish but it has not rusted up.”
