Well I had this really long speel written out about my hunt today, but I lost ti cause I wasn't logged in or something. So to make a long story short .... I found a CACHE !!!!! It was about 12" deep and at first I though it was possibly trash, but it was close enough to check .... so I did. Here's what I found .....
It is a compact ......

with 5 wheats and the remains of a broken mirror inside.

On the front lip of the compact it reads Djer Kiss ....

The wheats were these dates .... 1919, 1919S, 1920D, 1928, and 1929

Just awsome to find all those coins in one little cache.
The coins sure date the case.

Gotta love it!!....What's the compact made of?.....wheats are in great condition..Congrats..

The compact is probably brass or tin, its definitely not silver. Its very thin and delicate. As for the wheats, they were in pretty bad shape when I opened the compact. I have had them in the tumbler for about 5 hours to make 'em a little more pretty !

Thanks for the comments Copperhead !!!
