Decided to head out to the Perris area in Southern CA to check out some properties that I have inspected for land development. I had been on this property a few years ago, 15 acers, and new that it had two or three demolished houses that were used for migrant farm hands to live in year ago.
I wasn't doing as well as I thought I would working around the exposed footings until I reached what use to be a raised wooden porch, I pulled back some of the old lumber and as soon as I made a couple of swings with my explorer I got the mixed tone back and fourth between 16 a 29 reading that normally means screw cap on my EX but after exposing the target I was surprised to see what appeared to be a small pill box. When I went to pick it up it was heavy and I became excited to see what was in the box.
Check it out!!
I want to thank all you guys for the responces you have posted. I guess because I spend 99% of my time on the beach I didn't realize the responce my find would generate.
Thanks again!

This property is on the south side of the City out by the Railroad Museum, my company was considering the purchase of the property to build Tract homes on, that was before the economy took the noes dive. It was cleared and all existing structures were demolished in preparation for grading and it has just been sitting for the past two years. I think there should be more finds on the property, I plan to hit it again soon. |

The only thing in the pill box was the 6 half dollars , the other coins and neckless were found around the site. Coins were all clad including a Canadian quarter. The neckless is not stamped.

Decided to head out to the Perris area in Southern CA to check out some properties that I have inspected for land development. I had been on this property a few years ago, 15 acers, and new that it had two or three demolished houses that were used for migrant farm hands to live in year ago.
I wasn't doing as well as I thought I would working around the exposed footings until I reached what use to be a raised wooden porch, I pulled back some of the old lumber and as soon as I made a couple of swings with my explorer I got the mixed tone back and fourth between 16 a 29 reading that normally means screw cap on my EX but after exposing the target I was surprised to see what appeared to be a small pill box. When I went to pick it up it was heavy and I became excited to see what was in the box.
Check it out!!
I want to thank all you guys for the responces you have posted. I guess because I spend 99% of my time on the beach I didn't realize the responce my find would generate.
Thanks again!
Thats a sweet find, congratulations my friend! |
