Two Days of Hunting, One Cool Find

[possumheaded]

Hey Ya'll!! Happy New Year!
I haven't posted in a while because I've been way too busy but it's nice to be doing it now and it was nice to get out and detect a little.
James and I met up yesterday and hit several spots with not much luck. I hit a spot today and found this neat little tin or case of some sort. It's the second one I've found in that area but the other was in a couple of pieces. It says Luxor on it. If anyone has an idea of the time period of this little case or what it was used for please let me know. I also included a photo of my 2008 clad pile.
I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year!
Ed

Nice hunt.......... condom tin

Jarhead could be right, cuz it looks to small for a ladies compact!

If you're finding relics like that, there's bound to be some old money in the mix somewhere!! Is that a gun in the middle of the picture?

The Luxor thing is a ladies compact.

Thats a perfume ruse, dont know if i spelled that right, but women would put things in those that would make them smell good..

My grandmother had several of these....Some were very old, and still had rouge in them. We would call it blush now days.
A good hunt, and good luck in the New Year!!!

Thanks everyone for the comments and for checking my stuff out. I hope to hit that spot again today. Maybe I'll find something better.

Nana40: Thanks for the link. That was really interesting. I hope I find some old money and yes that was a piece of a gun but it was just an old toy. I got really excited digging it though. If your interested in hitting that spot with me just let me know. It's in Trussville.

Hunted out? Lol!: I used to dig everything but now if the detector says it's the size of a can or bigger I usually don't dig but every now and then I will. I probably should because I have found some pretty neat big things to but since I've been hunting with James In Alabama I kind of got the coin syndrome.

mrtuff: I cleaned the back a little and found that it says Rouge and I think the number is 1005 on it as well. The one I found before wasn't hinged either but the outside was so rough all I could make out was Luxor.

Thanks again to everyone and Happy New Year. May your new year be filled with lots of great finds.

Thanks again everyone. I went back on the 31st but got there late and it was cold so I only spent 20 minutes detecting. I did find a wheat so maybe I'll find some silver. WoooHooo! Can't wait to spend a whole day there. I'm going to another place tomorrow for my first hunt of the year so maybe i'll be posting some good stuff. As for the rouge tin, I opened it gently just hoping it might contain an old coin but no luck. It still has the little mirror in it which was neat.
Thanks again and I wish you all a Find Filled Year.
