Unexpected surprise!!!!!!

[coop]

Hit a few spots yesterday and found a couple keepers, But the highlight of the hunt was digging a ladies compact case and giving it a shake and thinking that its only a mirror inside and then opening it to find an Indian head cent in beautiful condition!!!!!! All I did to condition the Indian was soak it in warm lemon juice and blot it with a Q tip. Thanks for looking HH Video #10 for 2012, Live dig & Amazing dug coin!!!.wmv

Terrific hunt and great video! :clapping:

That Indian Head in the compact is really amazing! It cleaned up wonderfully. That was a really lucky find!

Lots of nice silver too, and I like that Indian Head + Buffalo coin spill. Great button and collar brass too!

Super hunt, Coop, thanks for sharing! thumbsup01

lol :clapping: :clapping: Haha! I know I've wished and prayed pried lol for a old coin or two inside of one of those old compacts! :yes:
As I'm sure most who've found one has. But leave it to Coop to actually do it! 8/ :envious: lol
Coop, with you it's either rare or unusual. And here, you've got both in one find!! :yes:
Thats cool!
Congrats man! :grin:

That's a cool story and find. I too have wished to find something inside one of those old compacts. So far it's only been dried up makeup or a broken mirror. Congrats on the other finds. The FD button looks like a Fire Department Dresss blues button, in my book that's a fantastic find. WTG

Every time I find a compact, my hope is that it holds some coins. That Indian was preserved beautifully erfect10:. Congrats on the silver too :beerbuddy:
