Interesting. I didn't know that the miner won't be brought up-to-date by the bitcoin local server with the state of the accepted block and thus invalidating it afterwards (modifying him as rejected/invalid/stale).
If someone found it before I did, became an orphan, shouldn't i be able to check this in debug.log ? What should i be looking for ?
Also, if it was orphaned, wouldn't it show here: https://blockchain.info/orphaned-blocks ?
Rather few orphans lately.

I'm solo mining and I got an accepted share.
How can I know for sure that I found one bitcoin block? I checked debug.log but nothing stands out. What should I be looking for?
Also, most importantly, in how much time, If I really did find the hash solution to that block, should I expect to see the bitcoins in my wallet? And please don't say after 100 blocks and 120 you will be able to spend them, because there is still nothing in my wallet after 150 extra blocks in the blockchain.
Is there a place you can tell if you found one, in transactions? listtransactions outputs blank. I don't think it's orphaned: shouldn't it go from accepted to stale/invalid if it is found to be orphaned (someone beat me to it/was already solved by the network) ?
Thanks a lot guys.
If listtransactions outputs blank, then it was likely orphaned, wow you must've been really unlucky to get an orphan. And no, a share can be accepted by the Bitcoin Daemon and that's what it'll say on the miner, but it can further reject it if somebody else mined the block.

I believe the coins should show in your wallet immediately as unverified or some such. but i could be wrong. 
But in how much time will I see the bitcoins? What's your experience with this ?
Your wallet is the place to find the proof.
