I like that car.

Just for the record, I'm never irritated by digging free copper.

Thanks!!! I don't mind digging free copper either! I have well over 2 LBs of misc copper junk & that's not including pre 82 pennies. I have another couple of LBs of Brass & plenty of aluminum too. If it isn't gold, silver or platinum that I'm digging then heavy chunks of copper junk aren't half bad finds. IMO copper beats clad unless you hit a mother load of clad. Seems I come home with about 60 grams of copper after every hunt.

I totally agree & thanks!

The roadster is one of the better tootsies IMO. This one looks descent once I cleaned it up more, it is missing some paint in spots but otherwise it's very descent!

I like finding those old toys. Yours is a nice one. Like that buckle too.

Nice variety. When I find a lot of different things like this, I call it a 'junk drawer hunt', cause junk drawers always seem to have a little of everything in them(good and so-so stuff). Cool car, found me a few tootsies this year. First toy of the whole year was a 'pumper firetruck'.
