Umm, i have to say, I thought this was a top to a tin of tobacco but upon further investigation..i.e. google...i found that it is the top to something completely different. Apparently it is the tin top of condoms from the 1920's-1930's.:icon_scratch: It was found near a river that is close to home. The merc is another silver find from my in-laws backyard. Seems everytime i go there i leave with a silver coin. Four visits, two silver dimes and two silver quarters. I also found these other items today but that tin top has still got me giggling.:laughing7:

I love history, aswell. Everytime i get down to dig my hole i'm hoping to see something i've never seen before and today, that happened.

Congrats interesting find! A little personal glimpses into the past, looks like they all didn't just sit home in a Saturday night!
