Here are my latest keepers from my after work hunts at various places mostly parks and schools. My favorite find is the arrowhead which is the first one I “EVER” found. The strangest find was all the scattered francs & schillings dating from the late 40s in a 4’ x 4’ area in a wooded section of a park, 21 coins in total. Some were on top and some in the ground about a inch or two deep? Some are cut and bent so I thought maybe a lawn mower unearthed a small cache but the bronze one (1951 20 schillings- bent) shows no signs of oxidation(?), I thought I found my first gold coin with that one (silly me), too bad the majority of them are made from aluminum but still a cool group of find. Also I found a smashed 1971 class ring, there are cracks where it is bent and I cannot make out the initials yet maybe I’ll try to straighten it out a little to be able to read them. My latest find was the neat pin and in its one piece!

Thanks for looking, stay cool and HH. TommNJ

That toy car is really cool. I just went to ebay to see if they had any of the metal master convertibles up for sale. I saw a few ranging from around $10.00 to $50.00! Nice find! :occasion14:

If these are what you are referring, they are bridge tokens for the Delaware Rive PA/NJ.

The arrowhead appears to be a "Clovis Point". It might be worth checking out.
If it is a "Clovis", it could be worth a lot of bucks.
Congrats.
