A Schoolyard Is Like A Box Of Chocolates...

[Subterranean]

You never know what is under it until you dig! This weekend at several schoolyards proved it true again. I dug my first complete medal, with all of the hardware and ribbon intact. It was 6" under the soil, (been there a while) and is a mid-1970's Boy Scouts Soapbox Derby racing award.


Also found a semi-relic, that being an old International Harvester (?) radiator or tank cap, solid brass with screw threads. Found a wrestling medal with no engraving on the reverse, fairly new.



Found many pendants and one marked sterling silver earring. I particularly like the pewter baseball glove, the silver colored shark tooth and the copper or brass howling wolf (great detail on this...wonder if it is related to scouting too?) I think the "Cray" pendant is for fans of the blues artist, Robert Cray....



Thanks for looking, I know it ain't much but it is always great to get out on a beautiful weekend and dig those widgets and wonders. Happy Hunting to all, Sub

Hey Subterranean, Does the baseball glove have the gold ball in the palm and Avon on the cuff. I dug one of those last Summer. Nice item.

Hey NGINY, no gold ball, just a hole where it used to be attached. Ugh. Schoolyards rock! Sub
