Looks like from the pictures it's a good place to hunt. :icon_thumright:

Obsevration: Did all the ladies back then just toss their compacts out in the yard when they were done with them? :icon_scratch:

Just wondering. Those and lipstick tubes.

I think everybody threw everything out in the yard when they were done with it back then. No curbside garbage collection I guess.
Fine hunt, cambria09 and a good snapshot of everyday life in the early part of the 20th (and possibly latter part of the 19th) century. Looks like a great spot to keep on hitting!
Happy Thanksgiving.

Glad to see I'm not the only one! I dug an all brass hose Bobby today. And that was about my best find in the 40 minutes I looked.

Hello Thrillathahunt. Yes we do find cosmetic items fairly often here in FL sometimes in trash heaps but also near where cars parked. So either they tossed 'em or lost 'em before getting out of the vehicle. Thanks for the reply and HH.
