Some relics to look at

[Blind.In.Texas]

A compact from between the 1870's - 1920's. I know nothing of compacts. It is copper.


A tachometer face from a guage and what appears to be some sort of paddle bit. It is copper. Same location as the compact. Also my sterling sailboat I dug from the elementary I used to go to. Guess I should go back and dig that foil signal at 4" near it


Lanvin perfume bottle I am guessing. Copper. Image on the front. From the 20's. No Cap. It's neat.


A modern achievment pendant. Back has "Military Achievement Award"


A token from a non-profit agency. Size and weight of a silver dollar.


No coins or tokens today. Disappointing. I know......

I found a compact identical to yours early this year. The condition of the mirror is exactly how mine looked, if you clean it to much it will begin to come apart. The bottom will probably read "evening in paris" New York distributor

Great finds. The "bit" thing looks like part of an airplane piston engine oil dipstick to me. Perhaps a crash site? Monty

Not sure as I have never seen one of those. It is copper or brass. There was no visible wreckage in the area. There were recoveries of naturally occurring resources in the area. That is all I can say. With as many people detecting in Houston as there are I would most likely give away something. 97 mm tall over all, the bell is 26 mm wide and 13 mm tall. The paddle is 14 mm wide and 3 mm thick and it weighs a few ounces. The are two cutting surfaces at the tip. One cutting surface on each side of center longwise and opposing each other in angle, giving it a counter-clockwise cutting rotation. There is only one reason I can think of why this object would be made of this material and be found on this place. If anyone figures out that reason PLEASE do not post it on the thread. A PM would be nice instead. Thanks all....
