Default Jewelery Keepsake Box found...

Wow, if only this little box could speak. Went out early for a hunt in a close town to where I live and found this little jewelery keepsake box. The homestead looked to be over 100 yrs old. I felt like a dolt as I had forgotten my headphones at my house, so I was ansie as I was seaching for stuff...it was 100% humidity and in the 90's in the morning here at 0700...then we moved on to local elementary school...lots of clad. Missed out on a nice 2007 $1 coin my buddy Mark found as I walked right over it as I had a hit...turned out to be a quarter...overall I was happy for his cool find...! Have to head back to the old house and see if I can find any jewelery that might have been in this keepsake box...

Congrats Ric! That is a sweet old box. I for sure would go back to that sit. Nice clad amount also. Tough luck on the headphones. I did that once. Now i keep an el cheapo set in the car. They are better than nothing, Beale.
