Big Knob Indian, truck and Pennsylvania propaganda

[halfdime]

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, I started at an aunt's house in the Big Knob area of our region. I didn't have very high expectations, and my suspicions were confirmed: I found about $.60 in clad and a wheat, but found this interesting little truck and medallion bragging about the fabulous Pennsylvania Turnpike. I, for one, hate it; the Turnpike, not the medallion. After a few hours, I decided that my other aunt's house down the road might yield one old coin for the day; she has an old foundation on her land that goes back a long time, and I've found lots of old wheats there. I wasn't disappointed: I found an 1898 Indian in pretty nice shape. The blue trailer is a previous find; other than the color, it matches up well with the truck. Both are Tootsietoys.

Henry,
It was beautiful today. Glad you got some decent keepers. I found the same year IH yesterday. It was nice because it's been a month or so since I have found an IH. They are always great to find.

BTW - nice pictures. Have you mastered the art of photography & editing? Either you or someone else has.

Thanks, Bob; I was able to add a free size program that allows me to reduce the pictures to an acceptable size. No more scanning, and sometimes the pictures turn out okay 8).

I like the medallion. Kinda looks like one of those octagon shaped gold coins I always see in my coin book. If only I could find one of those.

Nice finds HD,

I agree the turnpike stinks. When I worked alot in Monroeville I had to get off and on it daily it sucked. A few times I just went through it in a hurry to get to my next job. A month later I'd have a picture of my trucks licence plate and a ticket.

Never been back on the pike since. Don't plan on it either. Who has exact change all the time.
