✅ SOLVED Copper or brass case with US Army

[ArthurC]

Anyone know what this is or how old it might be? I found it three inches down, when I ran water over the top to get the grime off the case began to fall apart. It's about the size of a ladies compact and looks like copper or brass. Thanks

I thought it was a unique find, certainly a first for me, nice break from the pennies and junk jewelry that ruled most of my short hunt today. Too bad its falling apart but i'll put that with my 'keepers'. Thanks for looking. HH...oh, someone told me today I might need a 12 step program to help me with my new metal detecting "problem"...LOL!! I'm definetly hooked!

Don't worry it's a healthy hobby but my wife told me I needed to go to DA (detectors anonymous) and admit I have a problem.

Scouts out!

My "problem" is that there is not enough time to detect!
