More cosmetics for my collection!

[ModernMiner]

Well, I think it's been about a week or so since I posted anything, so it's great to be back. I missed you all.
With deer season finally over, I was able to hit the woods where I've found a lot of CW relics before. I was on my lunch so I didn't have much time to detect, but I did get an old thimble, an 1800's flat button (I can't make out the back mark), and that oval piece. Those oval pieces are still a mystery to me. I've found them before, and have seen others post them before, and they seem to always pop up where CW relics are. There were more iron targets in that patch of woods too, so I'll be hitting it again possibly on Saturday.
My other finds were from last Saturday from the 1850's house I've been detecting.
*1943 Merc dime
*Amusement token - "No cash value - For amusement only". (Sounds like a girl I dated back in the 70's. )
*Evening in Paris lipstick tube
*Yardley- London compact with broken mirror.

Not much really, but it was great to get back out into the woods again.

Dug, it is nice to see you back and posting. That early flat button tells me there are some largies or Spanish silver nearby. Nice haul, Dug bud!

We'll be seeking permission for a new site this weekend. The site is Rev War period, so I hope we are able to get into it. If not, we'll chug along as usual.

Good luck on your future hunts, Dug! I hope you are able to score another banner find very soon!

Thanks Sir Kyle.
Things finally ironed themselves out, so here I am. I'm determined to find some LC's out in those woods. LOTS of area to cover.
Good luck on permission to that new site. Just throw a dress on your uncle, a little makeup, and you guys will be good to go.

Doug could those oval looking things be some kind of grommet?
I found the same "Evening in Paris lipstick tube" last year at a old house that burned down.
I think we all had 1 of those girlfriends back in the day!

Rob,
There was a lot of mind altering "medication" back then, so that's the excuse I'm using.
I think you are right as far as a grommet, but I would love to know from what era. They always seem to pop up at old sites.
Have a good one,
Doug

Hello, I have found alot of those oval pieces digging in old Farm dumps. My guess is they are the Female part of old purse catches because sometimes the male part will show up too. You know the type where the male part sticks through the oval and then you twist it 90 degrees to lock it. If you are finding them at old civil war sites, they may have been used on some leather pouches. Just a thought! Nice finds Paul

Great to see you back, Doug. I love those finds, well I'm old enough to remember the Yardley-London (still made today), and the fragrance of Evening In Paris perfume, but not the lipstick.

Do you think "Q" would like these cosmetic pieces for his collection? Just tell him that the lipstick tube is a rare bullet.

Thanks RR.
I'm headed to London soon, so maybe I should see if they will give me a free refill.
Congrats on that super fine CW bullet!!!

Oh, how the mighty have fallen!!! You have gone from 3 Banner Finds recently, probably 2 or 3 Best Finds in the upcoming W & E Treasures Magazine, having your article published in the Aug. issue of W & E Treasures Magazine and now are working for Mary Kay Cosmetics? That's a big drop-nice finds. Maybe you and Bubba can dig some more CW relics on Saturday and restore your reputation. HH, Quindy.

No deer for me buddy. I don't hunt. I'm a fisherman. Although I did bag a few wild beasts back in my day.

Q,
At least they were quality makeup companies. I'll be back with something good this year, I promise.
Although I've always wanted one of those pink Mary Kay Caddies.

They seem to pop up quite often. I would love to see a picture where one was actually in use.

Willy,
You lucky dog. I heard Madussa was a stoner too.
One time back in the 70's I was dreaming I had the munchies and was eating a giant marshmellow. I woke up and my pillow was gone! Ah, the good old days.

Nice finds. I have found a lot of the oval things. They are from cloth tops from model A's-T's, early cars like that.

Now that makes sense. You may have just solved a big mystery. THANK YOU for that info.
