What's In Your Wallet?

I went out to the woods near my house today hoping to find an old foundation to detect. Observing as I went along, a white object at the base of a tree caught my eye [weird]. I went closer to investigate. It just looked like trash when I got there but I took a swing with the Prizm IV anyway. The tone came in at copper and ¢.25. I scraped away the leaves and the duff and found 2 wallets. Inside were a couple of pitiful bills that had begun to disintigrate and several nice coins:

It turns out that the object that caught my eye was a white purse. It must have been out there for quite some time considering the newest coin was a 1953. Hmmm... maybe some hunter dropped his pocketbook.

Not much that wasn't just falling apart. The driver's license just flaked away in my hand. You'd think there at least would have been a comb or lipstick or something.

Wow! that was interesting...to think something laid out there in the open for so long and in plain sight too.

That's just way cool. When they drained a lake in Denver, a couple of hunters found wallets. At least you could explain that they had fallen overboard while sailing. Your find is a mystery. Spooky. Weird.

That is a great find. It is amazing that it has lasted this long in the elements.

humm a lost in the woods 1953 or later -- white purse with the contents intact (too bad the drivers id crumbled -- might have been very very important ** ) -- I can not help but wonder if there is a 1950's era "cold case" linked to it -- local missing persons case --since the money is there so "robbery" wasn't the reason -- woman dragged into the woods --purse thrown away during the attack -- ( there just might be a bunch of very old human bones near by on the surface or shallow buried grave ) in those woods .----- so keep an eye out when your in that area. .
