Default An old church lot yields a merry widow!

Take a gander at what my VX3 found in a church lot. There's even one left! I got a chuckle out of it. Anyone wanna take a guess at what it is!? The larger item was found in an old abandoned farmhouse's yard. I assume it is an old compact case, back when they were made of copper! No cool old coin finds, just wheaties. We all know what those look like...

Naw. Do a forum search and see how many of those tins have been found on church parking lots.

That's funny, must have been the parking spots of choice way back when. I told the pastor that I would offer him any cool relics I found. I wonder if he would want this?! .....
