Intact snuffbox with Portrait / relics / Indian wars action

[MaineRelic]

I had a very fun morning of digging this morning . I was back at My neice's 1850 ish house , Still finding a lot of targets . Still mostly clad with an occasional wheatie here and there not a silver coin from here yet . Finding a fair amount of relics though . With my best find being the early 19th century ? gold gilded snuff box with portrait under cut glass . I have not figured out who it is yet Next favorite was the heavy brass coin purse / sorter. I sure wish it had a few coins in it . But was dug up empty . I filled it for the second photo to show you what it should have had in it and some high quality reinactment figurines from England no less : The best part of the day was when the neighbors came over to see what I was doing and were so interested in seeing what was on there land they asked me if I would want to detect it Thanks for looking !!

You asked me why I perhaps thought it was a Saint painted on the snuffbox? I have no idea, not of the Catholic persuasion. But it seem that saints and other religious painting were popular on a huge number of things. Maybe they just needed material, and a saint is better than a guy dying of nose and face cancer from the snuff? Ya got me?@!
