Big Silver surprise in the Inland Empire.

[Jaws2]

Decided to head out to the Perris area in Southern CA to check out some properties that I have inspected for land development. I had been on this property a few years ago, 15 acers, and new that it had two or three demolished houses that were used for migrant farm hands to live in year ago.

I wasn't doing as well as I thought I would working around the exposed footings until I reached what use to be a raised wooden porch, I pulled back some of the old lumber and as soon as I made a couple of swings with my explorer I got the mixed tone back and fourth between 16 a 29 reading that normally means screw cap on my EX but after exposing the target I was surprised to see what appeared to be a small pill box. When I went to pick it up it was heavy and I became excited to see what was in the box.

Check it out!!

I want to thank all you guys for the responces you have posted. I guess because I spend 99% of my time on the beach I didn't realize the responce my find would generate.

Thanks again!

Way to go on the silver! That pill case looks like it might have some silver on it to.

I think it is silver plated, its not very heavy and there is some rust on the bottom.

The only thing in the pill box was the 6 half dollars , the other coins and neckless were found around the site. Coins were all clad including a Canadian quarter. The neckless is not stamped.

Thanks for looking.
