Can anyone identify for me the case in the third picture?  I dig all kinds and sizes of them.

Thanks

As I wrote in my writeup - it is a brass makeup case also known as a compact.  When I opened it up all the broken glass from the mirror was sitting in case. These are typically late 19th to early 20th century design in this style.

That's a nice one, congrats!

I've dug one bust dime that was pretty toasty, and one bust half that was in decent shape.  They're definitely not jumping out of the ground anywhere.

Still standing so that's a good thing. Keep digging.
