Found a 1967 Matchbox Greyhound, a geode, copper makeup brush handle?, and possible bird band? with the number 2473. Then along came the cops in a early 70's Matchbox Mercury.:laughing7:

Does kind of look like quartz with gold, but just a geode.

A cheap one until I can decide on a very good brand-name one to buy.

That was an interesting hunt... different mix of stuff. Matchbox cars are always a cool find.

Coold digs. I used to own and play with both those match box toys back in the late 60s and early 70s.:thumbsup:

I was pretty excited to find the Geode actually because they are not common at all in my area. These were found in my back yard, which happens to be a Native American habitation spot along a river dating back about 2,000 years. This geode although not for sure could have been a Native American curiosity stone as I found it about 8 inches down which is where I often find pottery shards, arrowheads, etc. as I dig targets. Never going to know what pops out of the ground. Still searching for the Clovis, but have found numerous other Paleo points and artifacts.

Thanks love finding them too, especially when I find them with my kids helping me out pinpointing them.
