8 1/2" 50's toy car,254g metal owl,3 silver,couple wheat's and more!

Started out at an old house tear down that produced a 254 gram metal owl. After that, I found the toy car at about 11" down. Almost gave up on the car, thinking it was just a piece of junk metal, but I noticed the roof and then saw the windshield. The 1961D Roosevelt came from that site also, along with the 1920 wheat and silver charm. This old house site looked good especially after I noticed what looks to be a 1800's era chair,(in bad shape), sitting in a covered up well with the rim outlined in brick. Next with only 1 hour left, headed to the hammered old park. Towards the end of that hour, I popped out a merc at about 8", it was a nice surprise to see that reeded edge in between two dirt clumps. Thanks for looking! HH!

Ricky, I'm not sure what it is made of. It has a silver look, but a magnet just barley sticks to it in some spots. :dontknow: Thanks for your interest.
