Went out to a few abandonded lots I found..Where i found my first ever silver and over 20 wheats about a week or so ago ...Well...i had went out today for almost 7 hours pounding...only to find a few clad coins..a piece of a granite headstone :dontknow: ..and this cool little "TootsieToy Roadster #4" ..i was suprised it is still all intact and the wheels are in good shape...Need to get some more roots out and i think the wheels might roll....So needless to say i was pretty discourage having found all the good stuff right off the bat..so i was heading back to the car and i got a penny/dime beep...so i dug ..not expecting much...then saw in the dirt a impression of a coin...scanned around..and saw this thing shining...i was couldnt beleive it...i was so tired of finding nothing but garbage there, i was seriously thinking of just giving that place up...Now i cant wait to hit it all again

Its really funny how I find things most the time...i either find it right off the back..Like the Car shown here..or i find it when im just randoming swinging on the way back...Not complaining..but this is how about 80 percent of my finds are :dontknow:
