Any ideas as to what this is? I got excited when I was digging it cause it's about the size of a silver dollar :( Haven't found any coins here yet.

This tin toy truck is my favorite find for the day. It was found near a hole covered in tin I was hoping was an old privy. After diggin down a foot I hit rock, I found the truck stashed next to a log on the edge.

Thanks for the comments everyone :icon_thumleft:
I experimented with electrolysis on the cap gun and ID'd the stamped steel truck. It was made by Steelcraft in the early 30's. Here's what it's supposed to look like.

Here's the little pistol all cleaned up.

looks like you all had a good day. In case you didn't know, the iron pieces with the rings are 2 halves of a snaffle bit.
