1920's Compact

[pescadore]

Hunted a house in my neighborhood that I have hunted previously with the 6T a couple of times. I was using my new Minelab Xterra 705 with the Coiltek 6" 3Khz Digger coil. I hunted half of the front yard last night after dark to tryout the backlight and found 2 clad dimes and 3 pennies. I went back this afternoon and hunted the rest of the front yard and one side. I found 2 keys, 3 clad dimes, 3 pennies and this antique rouge compact. I did a little research and it is a Luxor brand 1920's mini blush compact. It felt kinda heavy so I thought maybe there was something inside and so I put a little oil on the hinge and pryed it open. Surprisingly it didn't break the hinge and it was full of dried out rouge

I like finding stuff like that and one time I found one of those that had 2 silver quarters in it..

I would use a bigger coil on that yard if you haven't yet to get a lil more depth and see what you can find.

I found one similar to that one last year. You hope to find silver inside.Looks like Mark was the lucky one. I had my hopes up but no luck! Nice find!

Neat find!
The ones that I turn up are always smashed.
