.....in fact it may be my best ever!!

Pickings have been slim recently but today made up for some of it.

I had some luck this afternoon in the sand/shore at a local beach.

7 silver coins, a buffalo and 7 wheaties. The toy car and bracelet are also kind of neat.

Going to hit it again tomorrow as I ran out of light and wasn't dressed warm enough.... froze my butt today.

According to my toy car guide this was made by the Barclay company, probably in the 1930’s. Very cool find.
