I was heading to my husbands grandmothers house in hopes of finding some silver when I passed a sidewalk tear out and decided to stop.

I found some clad, a 1952 D penny and a pair of children's school scissors? And this little fellow.

Love the horse and rider! If the scissors seems too sharp for kids, they may be embroidery scissors, which are also small but sharp.

Okay, a question for those of you experienced in detecting sidewalk or public parking lot tearouts: In my town, usually such tearouts have a yellow "Caution" tape around the perimeter. Is it okay to step inside and detect anyway? If not, is it okay to stay outside but stick the detector under the tape? (that second question is kind of a joke, lol.) I'd love to do the tearouts in my old town but the "Caution" tapes have discouraged me. btw, I'm an old lady who wears a pink sweatshirt with hearts on it when she detects, to discourage authorities from getting too zealous against my detecting forays! I never detect private property. Any info or experiences on "Caution" tapes that the rest of you have will help me. Andi

Thank you Golden! I didnt even thing about the possibility of them being embroidery scissors! That's cool!
LOL. I love the pink sweatshirt with hearts. Lol.
And lol at sticking the detector under the tape. That'd be something I'd be tempted to do! I've been discouraged by the caution tape before myself. I've only gotten to search one other tear out in the past and didn't find anything. Maybe if you wore you heart sweatshirt and didn't actually go past the tape? Lol. I'm actually kind of serious. Haha!

nice assortment of finds and good eye.
Around here they tear the sidewalks out and pour the concrete
about 10 mins later so we dont get the chance to detect ours.

Oh man that's sad Allen. Thats too bad. Thank you!

Awesome! Looks like it came from the same set as the one I found earlier this year!

Way cool Neil! I love these things. I can just picture a little kid sitting in the dirt with them all lined up, imagining the war scene. His mom calls him to dinner and he scrambles to go in and drops one in his rush.

Looks like the horse and soldier were trying to jump out of the sidewalk! Amazing find! Thanks for sharing.

Lol Duggit! I've only found one other solder and he was made of iron, I think. I love this one though
