Found an 1890's Lighter

I was able to get out yesterday for 5 hours. It was sooooooo hot in the sun that
at times I had to go & detect under a tree just to get out of the direct
sunlight. Went through alot of water & Gatorade's. at this park, I found 2
Indians, 1890 & a 1896, & a unreadable Buffalo Nickel. What at first I
assumed was a piece of metal junk, this morning under closer inspection &
cleaning, I found it was an 1890 Reliable Pocket Lamp Lighter. Too Bad about the
condition on the inside, but I am ecstatic now about this cool find. The lighter
was 8" down, & the Indians & Buffalo were between 6 & 7 inches down.
on the CTX 3030, the Buffalo came in at 12-11,12, & the Indians at 12-23 & 12-31.

Man that is one HUGE house cat in your avatar! How many pounds of tuna does that big boy consume per day?

Our cat goes metal detecting with me in the yard. He gets energized over the sound of the Pro-Pointer. Nearly knocks it out of my hand when I'm trying to spot a target.

He eats a full 13 oz can a day with some chicken mixed in. He is about 28 lbs & a savannah breed, thanks for asking.
