It is about 100 years old and the first one i have found

Metal detecting down at the pond there has been a lot of coin finds here recently and lots of them from the early 1900s. Today with my Fisher F75 and small 5 inch coil I was out to find some old coins. Right away I dug up two wheat pennies showing me there is still the potential for silver coins. After detecting for a bit and finding a lot of clad pocket change I swung over a 73 signal. this spot now woods is where I think people used to be able to drive right in and park to head down to the pond. I started digging and out popped a Merry Widows contraceptive case. A small tin container from the 1920's - 1930's. wow ! my first. Swung over it again and the bottom part of the container was in there making it a complete find.

[@brianfinney8878]

Glad you got a happy ending by finding the bottom of the Merry Widow

[@Ronbo410]

Hey man!! Love your videos. If I were you, I'd get some water gear and get in the water at the old swimming hole. There has to be some old silver coins and jewelry in there!!

[@soilwork1981ify]

I love it when you hunt by the water.

[@chrisbroome5325]

Coming to completion, Ha! No pun intended

[@nicolasrossi5978]

Good recreation back then, good recreation today, a fun time had by all.

[@stantilton2191]

Congratulations Charlie on your white whale. Still on my white whale list too!

[@stephencurry599]

Only found one myself. It was different though it didn't have the price but had the three merry widows names. It was on a old baseball field even stranger

[@steveclark4291]

Some of those old bottles could be worth some money !

[@MNpicker]

Awesome find😁

[@tinman7130]

A very happy ending to a great day at the swimming hole on Not Thursday.

[@daisymay4183]

A contraception relic. Vety weird one to dig up. Love the video😊

[@exmethol]

The round tin held three Merry Widow condoms. During the early twentieth century, the term “Merry Widow” was commonly used to imply a sexually experienced and independent woman (the term “merry” traditionally had a sexual connotation). This Merry Widow tin names the three “Merry Widows” as "Agnes, Mabel, [and] Beckie." During the 1920s and 1930s, the Merry Widow brand was so popular that the term “Merry Widow” became slang for a condom.
Merry Widow condoms were tested to ensure that they had no tears or holes. Because testing was an expensive process, a tin of three Merry Widow condoms sold for a dollar. In contrast, untested condoms were often sold on the street for pennies.

[@chrisbroome5325]

Good info, thanks

[@stevedurham3270]

There were really 3 widows Beckie Agnes and Mabel some of the tons have the names on them I be got a couple of them

[@loripretti843]

It's crazy to me that they made them that long ago!!! God Bless Us All!!!

[@jimnorthland2903]

Had them in Roman days!

[@landofsaguaros8330]

There is a 100% chance that if you got in the water and fanned out from that giant rock at the water's edge you are going to find a lot of goodies

[@kevinmed4069]

I would rate a merry widows cannister over a common silver any day.

[@jimnorthland2903]

Even a hundred years ago I believe most guys would not have complained about 33¢.

[@duanealdrichjr.538]

You may have found the old Lovers Lane. lol

[@diggingindiana1464]
