It's not a beer can!!

My first powder flask, with a quail motifs, I started a new permission to day and all this was in the front yard to my surprise there was no trash IE pull tabs.
The home is built over an 1830 cabin with a barn that has 1857 carved into a corner Stone
I only had 1.45 hour's to hunt this afternoon. But I will be their from 11 am on tomorrow :)
Yes I cut the flask with my shovel : (

That may have rang up loud enough that I would have thought it was a can. Nice job on digging it.

That is a great find. We don't see them very often. Sorry about the cut, but sometimes it just happens.
