A good time was had by all
I was late to the party on Sat. with 'Batts, Watercolor, and Skates. After three trips back to the car to get things I forgot, in the first ten minutes I found Cracker Jack hill and got my find of the day, a long sought after CJ trolley.

It came in with a slightly lower conductive number than the other CJ toys I've dug. I changed my settings to open up the discrimination and within five minutes, found a CJ rocking horse. Ten minutes later, I got the piece of toy jewelry - maybe CJ, too?

After that, it was a a variety of things including two wheats and many bullets and empty shell casings not pictured, a '27 buff that was about an inch deep, a junk cufflink, a flat piece of lead with rusty numbers on it that looks like it was once part of a wire seal, and a round lead ball that looks like it might be a homemade fishing sinker.

Not an outstanding hunt as far as old coins go what with no silver and all, but that trolley car really made my day. I guess the Cracker Jack toy thing has rubbed off on me from hanging around Mark for so long. Now if I could only find a CJ mantle clock....
It was fun hunt with everyone getting something they liked and some firsts occurring, too.
God bless our veterans! Thank you for your sacrifices!

Great hunt, Neil. Cracker Jack toys are the one thing that seem to be missing from my hunts. When I had the F75, they always seemed to find their way into the pouch.
