10 K , "BUFF", LEAD TOY, AND MISC. ITEMS FOUND BETWEEN THE RAIN DROPS AT LOW TIDE

Hi.

It was raining out this morning when I left home, but settled down to a steady "drizzle " by the time I hit the beach. I like hunting in this type of weather...so relaxing.

Hunted until the drizzle returned to a heavier rain, but in that window of time I managed a 10K (mildly tarnished) band , a lead toy dog, and a "buff" ..no date visible.

The ring is stamped "PMS 10K"; my research tells me that this stamping means this is a vintage ring probably from the 1930's or 1940-'s

This beach is old, I tell you, but I really like hunting here.

Here's pics

Thanks for looking

You done good!!

You are in an old spot. . . the lead (pot-metal) dog is an old CrackerJack prize and that motorcycle is one of the rarer CrackerJack prizes.

According to one site , one of the rarest Cracker Jack toys was the clock; dating back before 1910.

I found this lead toy, but unfortunately it was not all in one piece; you can see that the eagle 's head is broken off, but the time hands on the clock match the one in the link that I am attaching.



also here's a pic of the lead toy clock that I found.
