Took my son and his buddy to our early-1900's permission and the find of the day has to be the 1930's Princess Pat makeup compact (blush) which I dug fully intact in about 4" of soil. It hit like a copper penny +2 on my MAX (82). I was pretty excited when I carefully pried it open (hoping for a coin or some other type of treasure) and it stayed intact! I cleaned it up and put it in my shadowbox.

Most importantly, however, is that my son and his friend considered this a "successful day" and had a great time. My son and I haven't done very well detecting together lately (if we don't get something good in the first 5 minutes he just gives up and mopes around). Well with his friend there a new fire was lit under him and they traded off detecting and digging/pinpointing for a solid 2 hours. Sweet!

Congrats on the cool finds! I found that same exact compact except mine was smooshed and toasty. That one you found is in awesome shape!

Thanks! I know I was very surprised myself. This is the same location I found 3 fully intact and sealed Pond's Cold Cream jars. Some careful gal buried her trash whole. Awesome for us!
