The Blue Box    ========

    It was a beautiful yet chilly morning in Mission, KS.  I had just  dropped the girls off at school, when I went for a walk at my favorite walk-around park, to get the blood flowing.  I often take my metal detector out to see what I can find... This usually results in finding old cans, and miscellaneous trash.  That morning was not much different...

    It pays to keep your eyes open.  Without the aid of the metal detector, I spotted a penny laying on the ground. I picked it up, put it in my pocket and continued my walk.  A short while later, again without the aid of the metal detector,  I spotted another metal object, picked it up and took it home with me...

   I Found Two things...  

1. I found a penny.  A 1 cent, 'Lincoln Head' coin.  I used a magnifying glass to read the date on the penny.  I did not speak that date to anybody and nobody was allowed to examine the coin to read the date.
2. I found another (man made) metal object.  I did not tell anybody what that object was, and I did not let anybody see the object .
   

  

I Put the Two items in a Box...

    I folded together a new cardboard box,
 put the penny and the other object in the box and sealed it with tape.  I spray painted the box blue, sealed it with more tape, took a picture of the Blue Box.  I put the box away where nobody is likely to find it until it becomes time to verify the contents of the Blue Box.


Nobody except myself has actually seen or touched the Blue Box, and nobody but myself knows the Date on the Penny or what the other object is..
Only those Two items are enclosed in the Blue Box and as it was a newly folded box, nothing except those Two items ever was enclosed in this Blue Box.



 The size and shape of the Blue Box was determined by what was available to me rather than the size and shape of the Two objects placed in the box..

The Challenge Unfolds  

So, you are you asking , "What's the point?"

 It would be near impossible for anybody to outright guess both the Date on the Penny and to identify what the other object is.  

 However, it should be possible to determine both the Date on the Penny and to identify what the other object is, using various extra sensory techniques.
