hello tnet members got word of a park that didn't allow metal detecting until just the last two years so I jump on it,,only had a short time to hunt today and the first target was a quarter signal on the at pro the soil was great little sand I got the plug out and nothing dug some more nothing,,the garrett pointer found it it was at my measure 8in deep,i seen the tin and was thinking cool something maybe inside,,but not this time,,,the handle looks copper brass maybe says florida any ideas ,looks old but not sure how old,found many dollars in quarters and this silver cross? no hallmark, 13 stones ,and has a round clear stone in the middle, thanks for looking

That cross....if you look into the center stone....you will be able to read the lords prayer. My daughter and I were both given one a few years back from my mom. Sterling Silver. A fun find.

The Florida item may be a Cigarette box.
Made for setting on a Table.

Similar but Different Example.
Yours is slightly Different because it's a souvenir
