An early morning hunt in the city....
Yes, my soldier's seen better days, but this die-cast lead figure is the largest toy figure remnant I've found to date; it bears some of the original paint. Down about 7 inches, it was my last find of this morning's hunt in Baltimore City. On the south side of the park I dug a 19th century suspender clip piece; it has a clear patent date of "1856 & 70", so it may be the one piece today that broke the century barrier for me. Along the way came 4 wheats dating '26, '39, '40 and '52. Good to get out and swing the coil before getting on with the day's work.
