    SLQ, merc and interesting item

    Got this SLQ with a solid 00 27-28. No warble and thought it was a can or car part, but not htis time. 2nd quarter for me this year.yeah.
    Dug this merc at another park. Located even another I am certain is a silver dime butburied in or under a MAJOR tree root network and cannot get it out.
    Found this charm not too far away, I would guess that it is silver but a bit tarnished...not sure why. It did come up as a possible IH or dime.
    And I also got another quarter/half-dollar hit and it turned out to be this item. Thought it was a pocket watch, however, it's too light. WHilest putting it in my pocket, the face plate came off. Appears to have a wick and fill nozzle with gauze inside....I wonder if this was some sort of hand held light, An old fashioned flashlight?
    Sure like a guess from others out there.

    I actually tried using some discrimination today,....down to 25. What I noticed is that I can move along a bit faster, but will need more time to adjust to the difference.

    Anyway thanks for looking.

    Thats some nice finds Can you make out any writing on the lighter? Could be religious and maybe used in a church to light candles. Did it come from the same place as the median?
    Get a drywall saw for them roots and go back after that other silver thumbsup01
