Purse, kind of, and contents

[eathabs]

While out behind my house this weekend I decided to dig an iffy/mixed signal with the DFX. I had on the 6X9 DD Eclipse as the coal ashes make it tough with my other coil. The DFX was telling me it was 6 inches. Great. I knew the layer of coal ash was 4 to 5 inches down below the rather hard dry Central PA soil. Another solid inch of ash to excavate. After digging a rather large plug the Bullseye II pinpointer sniffed out the Goodwill Hose Company token. Nothing to indicate it's age. The next target was the Melvin Purvis Jr G-Man Girls Division badge. Here is some info:

Next the remnants of the purse frame followed by the old Avon lipstick tube, compact, and some type of antibacterial tin. I thought I had it all but rescanned the hole to find there was a penny reading about a half inch farther down. Sure enough, out popped 3 wheaties, the key and the square top to an unknown tin. The wheats are 44,45 and 55.

Thanks for looking,

Hal

That's an interesting variety of relics you found, hopefully there's more good stuff hiding out there.

Hal...

That ROCKS ...

Dude that Jr. G-man is worth about 2 dozen Cheese Steaks with Cheese Wiz ...

Man what a Rush of a Find ... Continue to Persevere

AND Keep On Rockin On ~ Nick ...

Nick, I was thinkin the same thing. Ummmmmmm, cheese steaks. The G-Man badge has to rank as one of my favorite finds. How many cheese steaks could you get for your citrine earings??

Nat, there are still a bunch of signals out there. I may hit it tomorrow.

A super great day...Awwwsome

Roadquest, I was pretty jacked just to be out there digging with the DFX, the goodies made it awesome.

Nice G-Man! Be careful, and don't bend it, I've seen people do that thinking that it is a flattened ring. Great stuff!

Congrats on a rare and interesting find(s)! Those items would make my day as I collect both Firefighting memorabilia (the token) and toy badges. Not bad for a backyard find. Any idea what little girl lived there back in the 50's?

[TimC (North Alabama)]

Gotta love those old relics. The Jr. G-man pin is cool.

 

[Ron B]

Yes, I agree; fine finds!
I love finding tokens, finding them in spells of late.

Question; what are the wafer type items shown in picture 4?

Great job!

[eathabs]

GRB, larger item is a small make up compact. Still has the applicator and a broken mirror in it. The other one is some type of anti bacterial container.

Awesome...I want to be a Junior G-Man!

 

[Mr. Cotta]

Wow, neat finds! I like how you put it back together in the picture. I suppose it's always a good thing to dig those iffy signals. I'll need to get better at that.
