Compac with SILVER coins inside !

[Whydah]

Today I met up with a couple friends, Leprechaun & Plymouthonian . Been wanting to hit another site that was on my bucket list... Today it paid off bigtime... Walked straight down to the beach and bang... First item of the day was a Captain Midnight Badge.... Dates from 1941, and it's the first issue of the badge... I love this hobby.... walked a little further and a few coins and some brass in between...Then once again, bang a nice solid tone and pops out a beutiful brass Anchor belt buckle....If anyone can help ID this one it would be great... Maybe a date for it?...... Quite a bit of turn of the centry items... Love that time period... I also need some help on this next item, Looks to be some type of badge... Says Souviner N and / Emcamptment 1908 what a great day....2 pewter spoons... I found 8 compacs today? realy crazy...They were all in the mud... Now for the goody, also a compac, didn't open it till I got back home... I slowly worked the cover loose, and opened it slowly. Inside was 2 Walking Liberty Half dollars.... OMG..... I am on cloud nine.... wonder if it was placed there for a special reason....Thanks for looking and happy hunting... back at that spot again tomorrow....

I'm no expert on ladies accessories but why would she need 2 shades of whatever was supposed to be in it. Could the 'compact' be a case for spectacles? You know, eyeglasses without ear pieces.

I am being told it is a 1943 Navy Sash Belt Buckle... mainly used by woman because it's so small and dainty... But that has never been proven... Went back again yesterday and tried hard to find the other half to no avail... but that don't meen that it isn't there somehwere.. I'll keep looking...

I see ya found Herbies post!
