Admin nuggethunting Posted October 16, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hello All, Last week I discovered this old match container that still had a few old wooden matches in tact. There was also a few small pieces of metal, one being part of the latch that held the match container closed. Pretty interesting to know the wooden matches were still there. I'm guessing it's a good 100 years old figuring where I found it. Any thoughts?Hope you enjoyed.Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted October 18, 2012 Author Admin Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hey Adam, Thanks! Some relic finds such as this are just as fun to find over a nugget. I was hoping with the rattling inside and knowing the placer location where I found it, that it might just have a few nuggets inside. Amazing the wood matches survived as long as they did.
