This weekend's finds

My wife was so gracious to let me have the whole weekend to go detecting! She and our little daughter and my mother-in-law went to the cabin at the lake for the weekend. I hunted about 6 hours on Friday, 8 hours yesterday, and 4 hours today. I know that a lot of you folks find a ton of coins and things in a much smaller amount of time, but I live in a very small town...like around 100 people. It's got a lot of history, and it's basically never been detected until I came along. Almost all the other towns around here have been hit hard--I really lucked out. So therefore I usually opt to stay close to home and see what I can find. That being said, I think I need to explore other areas.

The little fish scale is dateless, but I found a variation (reverse variety RF:geek: that puts it 1899 to 1901. My oldest Canadian silver coin woohoo!

Then my first Buffalo Nickel...another dateless coin, although I think I can see 1919...

A few wheats, silver plated ring, couple of 1960's silver coins, and a little bit of this and that popped up.

Then the craziest thing I have dug up yet. The 3 Merry Widows condom tin. When I got home I realized I could open it carefully--THE GOODS ARE STILL INSIDE!!! :surprised: It's probably 80 to 100 years old...made to be RE-USED...interesting to say the least!

Happy hunting everybody
 
J C It is time to talk to the old timers in town, put on your best BS shirt and find out what and where things were going on. Maybe things got torn down, moved, destroyed? Get maps of the county. It is time to do some research. I sit with county maps and look at parks/schools in the area I want to detect. I have found many new sites that I did not know about. I found a school today that is new to me because my wife wanted to go shopping at a store in the northern part of the city. I detected it today and what a pleasant surprise. Watch when you are driving. You have to become a better hunter. HH......Z
 
Sorry JC those are some nice finds. Great work....Z
 
Awesome finds, congrats! You never know, someone who lives in that town could have been descended from someone who lost their condom tin, one hapless night 75 years ago... :)

Good digs and nice silver finds.:clapping:
 
Nice bunch of finds. I've dug several 3 Merry Widow containers too. Four different varieties, in fact. Two varieties have the names Beckie, Agnes and Mabel on them. I believe they were introduced in the very early 1900's. Again, good finds. HH jim tn
