1990's time capsule/cache
I was detecting at a home site way out in the woods that was on the 1945 map of the area yesterday, and found something totally unexpected. I got a good hit, and about 4 inches down I saw a metal tin with the lid still on. Im thinking its a silver stash from the 40's at first, but I definitely didn't expect to see teenage mutant ninja turtle memorabilia from 1991 when I opened it! Even though the tin only had one coin and a token, there were still some pretty cool finds in there, the latest item being 1992. There were several polished rocks, a crystal, 1989 canadian dollar coin, Aladdins castle token from Vegas, teenage mutant ninja turtles stickers and bandana, a button that reads "If you are what you eat, then you wiz what you aint." Also there was a brass snake, little pieces of baseball cards from 1992, a magnet, 2 clay things that I think the kid made in art class, a junk chain, and 13 gun shells of various calibers. I have no idea why this kid buried all of his "treasures" in 1992, but it was my first time capsule and I thought it was a cool find. Also during the hunt, I dug a nice tootsie toy truck, and about 10 lbs in scrap copper. Thanks for looking and HH!
