Finds from my boyhood home! Like a Time Machine!

[Cool Hand Fluke]

Got permission to hunt a house I lived in from 1965 to 1969. I was 9 years old when I moved in. I was hoping to find something from my childhood, I actually did! I remember the green matchbox car! The stainlees steel butter knife is from my moms set of silverware. I remember the pattern of the set she had. The house had a very small front yard. I was hopping to find some silver, but did not. Did get one wheatie. If you ever get a chance to hunt the house you grew up at go ahead and try it! You may be pleasantly surprised like I was!

Great Finds and a Great story

I wish I could hunt my old house but Urban renewal took care of it a long time ago.

I've been waiting for a chance to hunt my boyhood home for several years. One day I'll get to!

I hunted mine a few weeks ago. My parents still live there so it's easy. Found fishing sinkers and a minnie ball. Also some change from the late 70's and early 80's. I'm 35 so I dropped it as a child.

Put those items on your scanner didn't you? I can't wait to get back to my old house. My parents still own it but I never got a chance to detect it. I know I lost some ninja stars and throwing knives there and I remember burrying money and other toys around the house that I never recovered.

Yes, its a jaguar. Its a matchbox from the 1960's. I believe there's a good chance it belonged to my brother. The 1960's was a good time to be a kid, not at all like today......
