I found the top of a powder flask and hunted hard to find the rest only to find the top of a smaller one!I thought great....two tops and I have pounded the site and no flask.About an hour later just as I was giving up out popped this little dandy!!!Also dug a few toe taps and some chinese coins.

Looks to be real old. Someone will identify it for you. Ron

That's a banner find to me!

 

[kuger]

Thanks,but I know it is old and I know what it is?It is half of a powder flask,the site is circa 1850.

 

[kuger]

Thanks Seger!!!

Very cool find!

 

[rmptr]

Very nice powder flask, Kuger!

Are any of those cash coins valuable?
From what I've heard, they made 'em by the gazillions and it's difficult to get any kind of money for them... No matter, I still like 'em!

Sigh.
It was a better world.

The half of a c.1850s flask that I found Spring of '08 was not nearly as attractive as the one you dug. Well done!

Rmptr,unfortunately the Chinese coins arent worth much,I find them all the time,over a hundred I have kept(landowners always like them too)I still love finding them,most date back to the 1700's and came here by ship!!!Thanks for the kind words!I have dug several flasks and this one isnt complete but is right up there with my favorite of all time!!I found a partial last weekend too I will post of picture of.

Nice powder flask, I have been hunting for years and only managed a few parts but never a whole one.

Nice find and should make a nice banner piece
