Small cache found today.

[Coinstriking Michigan]

I found this box today about 5 inches deep. The coins inside were:

1944-D Walking Liberty
1943-P War Nickel
1946 Nickel
1941 Wheat
1944 Wheat
1945 Wheat.

Best single plug of my detecting career I added a pic of where I found it. It was on the right side of the pic near the long grass.

The container looks like the ones that used to hold small water brushes and paint when I was in school, great find

a little background to the story please?
Where, conditions, hunted before? etc....inquiring minds want to know!

This was found near a baseball field in a tiny little town. Actually it was in the grass on the side of the road leading into the baseball field, an area that would probably be overlooked by most people. It registered a solid 35 on my Fisher Id Edge and was down about 5 inches. I cut the plug and when I pulled it out, the Walker was right in the bottom staring up at me. I've detected this spot before and found a few tokens, clad, and old shotgun shells.

I would say a plastic box like that goes back 30 to 40 years, like someone said a paintbox.
Very nice find off the beaten path.

Nice Bro!! That's the kind of plug I would like to open up! That would definately qualify as a cache!

Keep it Up!!!

Congratulations on the cache! There is nothing like that thrill of finding something that was hidden. Me and my daughter found several pennies in an old rusted case about a year ago. I would love to find one with some silver!

Awesome find! The plastic case looks in color and design like that used to make cases for toys and toys of the 1950's. Fair to assume?

I appreciate the comments. I wish everyone could experience the excitement I did.

I bet!!! That must have been awesome. You should build a little shadow box display and mount them all in there along with a pic of the area. VERY cool Congrats
