Not what I was expecting

Bomberman · May 27, 2018

I had a quick hour to kill so I grabbed my gear and headed to a nearby church that’s been hit pretty hard in the past. About 30 minutes in I get a sweet 82 high tone on the Max. About 10 inches down I spot a silver reeded edge and it’s big!!! Quickly reaching in it felt too light in my hand. In the light of day I realize it’s aluminum and I’m bummed. A little cleaning reveals writing...Merry Widows. A quick Google search shows a 1920s - 30s condom tin. Not a big silver coin but still a pretty cool find.

While researching these condom tins I came across the fact that the Condoms were umm Re-useable.
