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.
