Coal miners carbide lamp!!!

[electroman1974]

Last detecting hunt for the year. More walking than hunting unfortunately. Did manage to find a few things amongst all the iron signals. The best being a autolite carbide miners cap light roughly from the 40's. 1 nitro club umc paper shell another umc rem shell. S&W 32 long unfired. Pad lock key hole! Carbide light was found about 20 yards to the right of the track switch!!

Great relic.. Imagine if it could talk and the stories it could tell.
