    Sweet bird of my dirt

    Got this bird yesterday. Nothing amazing, but it's one of those things I've never got before and I love it man!

    When I was a kid these were available to the nerds in plastic only, these old metal ones were long gone. It's missing the bead insidie that makes it whistle and of course the stem. Got a few other things along the route but this one made my day.

    Looks pretty big next to that dirty old man on that coin.

    Re: Sweet bird of my dirt

    Thanks guys, but I don't know where that Frankie came from. Just reached into a coin pile here and picked up a biggun to throw it up on that bird for size' sake.

    I've pulled a lot of Frankie's before but just in seeded hunts, but that one wasn't in the old seeded hunt pile, just in another pile of old stuff I got laying around. One of these days I'll sort out my digs and show ya'all some real goodies, if I recognize 'em...
