Best find so far

[~MetalDigger~]

out of the clad and other junk i have found this is the most important find besides my two wheat pennys. i live in a old trailer park, where poor folks live, and some little kid left his little matchbox car, and i found it about 4" down, in hard packed gravels. i wish the top had been on it. made in england no.68 it's a old mercedes coach.

Yes I'm pretty shure the top was plastic, not possitive thou. I'll keep on digging. I know of some places, but my transpertation is limmited. due to cold weather.Because I ride a motor scooter, no drivers license. And nope never had a dwi lol. I can ride 100+ miles for $3.00

Treasure pops up in the most unexpected places.
The fact that you keep hunting gives you an edge.
Good luck.

Thanks, I love my new scooter saved up the money and ordered it on line from CA it's a Roketa made in china $1050.00 no tax, and free shipping. Got about 1500 miles on her. And it will run up to 55mph, but I dont go over 35, unless someones trying to pave the road with me. Same as the image below.

Old matchbox stuff is cool to find

I save all of my little cars that I find, most of them are shot but I hang onto em anyway. Nice scooter too! When I get home from Iraq, I'm going to get one of those 80cc bicycle engine kits (The engine is unmarked as to displacement so I can say "Why yes, (Deputy/Officer/Ranger) it's only 49cc's") and mount it on an old single speed Schwinn that I have and put some knobbies on it for my MD 2-tracking assault bike. Kind of a modern-day Whizzer if any of are um..."more experienced" Forum members remember those.

Here's a couple pics of the Matchbox that you found with the top on:





WTG!!!
