My brother and I found these trinkets when the ground was thawed,

A few wheaties, toy gun, play dime with a date of 1956, pretty cool !!

Little gold locket, army pin,razor handle??,,, not a whole lot but had fun

For sure there will be return trips to these yards, lots of goodies left.

All stuff was found with tesoro products, silver u-max and vaquero!!

thanks for looking

nice finds you got there the us pin is a standard army issue lapel pin they have been making those for years if the us seperates from the backing its fairly new if it is a 1 piece then it dates back to the 50's and earlier.
