A bullet, pin, and guess whats inside the tin??????????

[gates21]

Got out with EDDE the other day and found my first mini ball- we are in northern IL by the way- so these are pretty hard to come by:

Hunting in my back yard I found this beautiful broach...obviously very old (and not nearly as nice as the gold one I found last year) but still very cool-by the way...its the size of a large belt buckle:

And finally, while hunting a different field I found this copper tin- it is hinged and will not cooperate and open- it is fairly heavy, but I hear nothing rattling inside--any guesses before I crack it open? please be gold

Happy hunting!

Nice 3 ringer. Excellent brooch! And I think there is a Wombat inside the tin.

There is probably an old bentwood box with spanish bones inside it.

Best guess, that tin was most likely a snuff box or makeup box.
