Vacation on the Beach

[Baldingboy]

Well, my family and I just returned from North East Indiana where we camped for about a week. I got the opportunity a couple times to detect on the beaches. Lot's of fun, but nothing too exciting. Despite this, I thought I should post my stuff. On the way back home we stayed in a KOA campground in Illinois, where I found the lighter. I thought it was pretty neat. The fella that ran the campground said a railroad ran through there and I sure wish I would have had longer than 30 minutes to hunt. The rain started and I had to quit. Here it is:















I actually dug this bullet on the beach!!!! Too wierd.

That's a super-cool old lighter.

BB, here is a PAC lighter, 50's-60's. I bet there was some silver around there. To bad the rains came. Nice finds.

That is an older lighter but not sure on the age. Looks like it takes lighter fluid and flint from the bottom. Definitely before butane lighters and disposables.
