April's Finds, & Leon gets to go racing :)

Hello all,,,
It's been a while since my last confession/post. :) I don't believe I even replied to the last post I did make, for which, I will apologize to all the people who replied to it. Seems like every year I get to go out and freeze my buns off during the winter, then when spring gets here, I am simply too busy to get out. :(

Anyway, the few times I was able to get out in April were some fairly nice hunts.
Pictured below are a few of the keepers for the month. First is a "Harley Davidson" belt buckle which is made of pewter, I believe, and has a copyright date of 1982. It also has a serial number on it as well, but I can't seem to find any info on it.

This next item is a neat little football award/medal. The design looks to be fairly old, but there is no date, or identifying marks on it to confirm it's age.

The last item is a large lipstick tube which is in the best condition of any I have found to date.

also found two wheat pennies and did fairly well on clad with a total of about $9 dollars, which is a new monthly record for me. :)

Another bit of good news, which I am ecstatic about, is that my brother won a contest from Marlboro and we get to goto the Indy 500 compliments of Marlboro, and Penske racing. We get access to their VIP tent, a pit pass, grandstand seats, and best of all, we get to take a hot-lap around the track.:) Not sure about all the details, but I guess, and am hoping, it will be in one of the two seater cars. Sure wish I could drive myself. I don't like riding with other people, but I'm sure who ever will be driving will do a good job of it, I hope.

I was born, and raised, in the neighborhood just east of the backstrech and have always been a big fan of the race so getting to go around the track in a real? Indy car will surely be another one of my dreams come true.
I done some short track racing myself back a few years ago, but never dreamed I would ever have the chance to fly around the track at Indy, I can't wait. I'm taking my camera and will post a few pics of the adventure, and maybe even a short video of my brother, and myself, taking the hot laps...

I wish you all the best of luck for May, and will try to find the time to post, and reply to a few post this month.
Good luck to all, and Happy hunting~

Went to Indy in 89 and sat 50 feet back, across from the pits. The fury of 33 cars heading into turn one on the first lap is the greatest thing I've ever witnessed in sports! Enjoy the experience!

Nice finds Leon! Awesome you and your Bro get to do the Indy experience up close, post the pics. I feel like I just got off the track, was cruising at 240 KPM or 150 MPH on the way to where I work this evening. HH, Mike

Thanks a bunch all,,,
Thank you "bogeymcq, for the link. I will definitely check into that...
I'm sure the trip to Indy will be one to remember, I already have many, many memories of the place, and I'm sure this one will end up being towards the top of the list...
Good luck to you all, & Happy hunting~
