My First Cache! What a doosie! ** PIC UPDATE 4/1 **

[DiggerBug]

Nana and I went to the old coal mining town today. We started at the old ballpark and the first thing Nana digs is a silver rosie! Got us pumped up but after about an hour of nothing but fence pieces I say...let's go into town. So we head to an empty lot between two houses in town.





We headed to the back side of the lot and after just a few minutes I see these dolls under an old tree. I climb under the privets and started pulling out dolls, a toy trolley then see this bowl of marbles. I holler for Donna to come over and about that time I pulled out a tin...the lid came off and more marbles! All of this stuff was sitting on top of the ground or just barely covered in dirt.
There were toy tanks, cars, jewelry, flatware, marbles, play money, compacts.....





I haven't had time to clean it all up but here it is....
















We had a great day! Thanks for looking!

Awesome finds, especially the tanks! But that gray colored doll is kinda scary.

Re: My First Cache! What a doosie!

ah...the good ol days where kids had no choice but to go outside and play. I feel sorry for the mom always coming up short on the silverware, and then jewlery, lord maybe the kid was a clepto.

Re: My First Cache! What a doosie!

i think theres something special about finding toys.
like you have made a connection to a special moment in time or something.
you know the kid playing with those is either grown older or may not be with us anymore.
its a mystery and its too cool ................

Re: My First Cache! What a doosie!

It doesn't get better than that regardless of the dollar value.50+years ago I was one of those coal camp kids playing under the bushes and later hanging one of the brass checks with the hole in it on a check board before going underground and taking it off when I came out at end of shift.
That was the company's way of knowing how many bodies they had to look for if the mine blew up.
