Lost & found watches in Quad Cities

Lost pocket watches near LeClaire Park, Davenport

While strolling along the Mississippi River at LeClaire Park in Davenport around 5:50 p.m. Saturday, I realized my pocket watches were missing from my coat pocket. One is a silver heirloom with a small dent near the hinge, the other a newer stainless piece with a black face. I retraced the riverfront path along the Mississippi from LeClaire Park toward the old freight house, but I came up empty. I’m hoping someone picked them up and will return them so the family can keep its stories ticking.
