Todays hunt provided few coins, but lots of relics

Went back to the site of a farm house that provided silver as well as several wheaties. The beans were picked around the area where the house sat (still in grass), so I was sure I'd find several more coins since yards generally shrink over the years as crop slowly encroaches into the sod. Well, I was wrong. I did however find that where I'd found 3 silver dimes (including a Barber, a Merc, and a Rosie) once stood an old clothesline.

Long story short, I found 3 coins, a Memorial, a clad Rosie, and the best was an '09 wheatie (not an S :ranting:).

Did manage to find some nice relics (though most severely damaged) of years gone-by.......

I straightened this little cup out, as well as the one in the above pic. Both are aluminum, and were mashed flat and folded,

Hey, buddy! Bigsquid55 here. Last weekend I found (completely entact), one of those "Princess Pat" containers..... under an old clothes line. Is it a pill box, or maybe, an old snuff box??? Managed to get it open... no mirror inside... but, some old, dried out material, can't I.D. Showed as a solid quarter, 5" deep. Same logo on lid as yours... bottom basin not much bigger than the lid. Nice finds! HH Bigsquid55
 
Hey 'squid! I think it's cosmetics, I just have a bad habit of calling these little things "pill boxes". I believe it's a compact, but mine didn't have a mirror either, perhaps the insides were plated well-enough that it provided a decent reflection?
