I don't get too excited because I am not quite that optimistic about finding anything good. Hopeful, but I don't like to be disappointed either.

Thank you all! I nearly passed out seeing the reader's digest token! It was the most excited I have ever been treasure hunting. I will be heading back tomorrow.

That eagle on the RD token looks just like the one on a Morgan. My heart would still be skipping a beat. Looks like the kids that buried those great cars must have been stealing milk too.

Cool hunt

Thanks cjon, only about half are Tootsies, 2 are Matchboxes, the rest are Hubblies. From my estimations, I think most of the cars are from the 70s, and maybe the all metal diecast firetruck is from the 50s or 60s.

I was confused at first because I thought the eagle was on the back of the Morgan too. It took me about 30 seconds to tell the "gold coin" was fake. I actually got a penny hit and dug up a license plate when my brother and I discovered some kind of dump. I will be heading back today to try to find more cars and bottles.

I like the way you think. If you go out - not expecting to find anything - and then you do - its all good! :thumbsup:

I agree! I am always doubtful even when I think I found treasure.

I really like the little cars! I am all about some TootsieToys. Nice find... the fire truck is killer! As for the RD coin, I have not found a gold one, but I have found several silver aluminum ones with reeded edges that make me think silver dollar, but alas, just more trash. GL&HH.

Thanks! I am starting to collect all the tootsie toys I find collecting. My favorite was the Fire truck too! I am sure you felt the same way I did with the reader's digest tokens!
