I've been metal detecting a little over two weeks now, I just recently got a brand-new Garrett pin-pointer and boy has it made a big difference in my metal detecting hunts

I found all your standard garbage and trash, about a dollars worth of clad and an old Rosie from 1966 ... No silver but I got real excited for a quick second

Yesterday I found a pretty cool little car. I believe this to be at 1930s to 1940s Barclay slush lead diecast toy car

From my research it appears that this car may have come in a set with a little toy truck and car hauler trailer with either two or four cars

Anyways I know this isnt as exciting as a lot of your finds but as a new guy I was pretty stoked to find something so cool
