Went to the cartwheel hole this morning and managed to get a small convex button and an old desk bell. It was way too muddy after the rain we got, so I decided to hit the abandoned house where I got the silver bracelet. Got a nice 1948 New Brunswick guide hat badge (intact)

, a junk button,

a handful of 40s pennies and nickels and then probably one of the coolest relics I've found so far. I dug this copper case, and what do ya know, it rattles.
Took it home and mangled the top part trying to get it open. Once I got the top off, I was baffled!

I played around with it until I got some of the little parts out, then there was no denying what it was! It's a Whitall, Tadem Co hypodermic needle field kit

You just never know what's in the ground! Thanks for looking and HH

Holy crap that field kit is awesome. Congrats on a wicked cool relic :yes:that hat badge is also a very cool find man.

WOW ! I vote banner on the field kit , that is one of the coolest things I have ever seen dug!
  It's kind of strange that I think that is so awesome , I stumbled across several modern hypodermic needles at the lake last summer and it took away my desire to be in the water. But put a little age on them and put them in a cool box and they are cool......
  The hat badge is a great find also.

Thanks a bunch guys. I guess I'm drawn to it because of my medical background. I think it's cool as hell. I put it together to show my wife and she just shook her head and said I better not catch AIDS lmao

Awesome day man! Very unique find for sure! Keep up with all the great finds

The badge is way cool but that field kit is terrific, congratulations!

Congrats on a rare find!

You are the only person next to me that I've ever seen dig one of these field kits

Here's mine from about 3 yrs ago (minus the actual needles).

Yours seems to be in way better shape than mine. I have to do a bit more research, but I did find that the company began in the second half of he 19th century and changed their name in the early 1900s

Mine is 1890s/1900

Found it on the old VA hospital site here in my town. Belonged to a US military surgeon that worked at the hospital during that time period. Found some of his other personal relics on the site too.
