Just curious all this detecting we do by land, water, woods, we’ve never came across any bank relics, badges, bags etc, just saying. Wells Fargo stage coaches where the transportation of yesteryear, we’ve never found old mail bags etc. anyhow anyone have any stories concerning this subject thanks

Here are a couple of safe deposit lids. I dug the Cripple Creek one up and sold it. Later I found the Victor one and was lucky to buy the other back. The Victor 9ne was found buy an old bent Spencer shotgun. They are rival towns, and look good displayed together. Screenshot_20201127-030927.png
I am surprised we don't see more of them.

So glad I saw this post....I dug this one probably 40 years ago and never knew what it was, but did put a safety deposit box lid into the guesses. So cool to see yours, thanks!

I do, but we wouldn't find what I collect with a metal detector. I collect local cloth bank bags with the banks name and slogan or picture, before they went to vinyl.
