My hunting buddie Dean and I decided to hunt an old yard near his business. The original 1890s house was torn down last year but they are keeping the it mowed (to some degree). It was rough going, lots of JUNK but we found a few things that were interesting. My favorite was a woman's compact and a match safe. The rouge container in the upper right is marked Armour and Company Chicago USA - 1005 Rouge. The match safe is in pretty poor condition but a first none the less for me. As usual no old money (sigh) but it was still an interesting day. The mirror of the campact has lost about half of its silver backing unless it isn't a compact but a picture frame, them the picture has dissolved to some degree. I believe it isn't a picture frame since there is no way to attach it to a neck chain and it would be heavy for that anyway. The striker surface on the match safe is in pretty good condition but the body has suffered from the years in the ground.
It the place wasn't so full of trash I'd go back with the Super 12 coil and see what else might be there but I am considering trying a sniper coil and try to pull a few coins to the surface. The few coins we found were all new stuff along the sidewalk. The finds shown are what I found. Dean founds some similar rouge containers and a few coins. Oh, if your MXT says screwtop dig it, that is what the compact registered as.
Happy hunting,
Ken
