Mexican 1/4 Reale, Roosie, Buffalo, and 1861 Springfield...

[FooserPaul]

Hello all!

I have not been out 12 days... talk about needing a fix!

I hit a fiends house this afternoon... He has a nice sized garden and was picking me some radishes and sugar snap peas... I look down and in the tilled dirt...

I see a dime... shiny and I'm thinking new drop... then I see the date... its freeking silver... on the surface :-) SCORE!

Lots of trash to pick through from the decades of faming / house / barn activities...

This was a dime target at 2 inches...

1861 Springfield ?? This is a big toy :-)

Cunductive of 12 @ 3-4 inches yields a no dater Buffalo...

This was a pretty solid 12/45 at 6 inches... I was not thinking copper...

Mexican 1/4 Reale (1820s-1830s)

Here in the totals you can see the size of the toy gun...

Happy Hunting all !!
Paul

I have seen those toy guns before! My grandfather had several different ones they came in plastic cases with the name of the gun on them as I remember.
