Got permission for an Indiana farm, and after finding the Indian Head penny (my only old coin on the day), I was super excited to find my largest shell casing, a Remington Arms .50 cal (likely a Korean War souvenir, right?), and my coolest Hot Wheels yet, a 1967 green Deora. If you’ve never seen a Deora before, I highly recommend you Google it. The absolute coolest vehicle ever made.

Nice job little man. That Deora is sweet. Too bad it was only a concept car in real life.

The Deora came with two colored plastic surfboards attached to the bed. In good condition, the original "red line" Hot Wheels are worth some $$. Nice find!

Remington Arms .30-06 from the Korean War era. Gary

I don’t know my guns very well but do you mean .30-06 like the deer-hunting rifle? Cuz my dad had one of those and this thing is like 5 times bigger than that. It’s enormous. Unless it’s like a Cracker Barrel replica like those old coins, ha. Thanks!

It's probably a .50 cal. then. The proportions of the .30-06 and .50 are exactly the same only the .50 is much larger. Gary

Great finds !
I've found a few .50 Cal Shells - I also had one when I was a kid -they use to sell them ( or still do ) in army - navy surplus stores.

Nice 1892 IHC. How's the back looking?

I actually Black-Friday-bought some Andres pencils, so I'm going to practice on a few newer coins and then try to clean coins like this carefully once winter sets in. Gotta find ways to keep the hobby alive even while under 3 feet of snow!

Sounds like a good strategy to me! :thumbsup:
