Hi everyone. I finally got to go out and hit a small local park and tot lot that I've had my eye on since late last fall. The park dates to 1915. I hunted it (and the tot lot) for about 3 1/2 hours this afternoon. Notable finds included a small kids earring (I don't think it's silver though 
), a plus sized Ford Sport Track, a Caddy hood ornament (nice but I want the actual car 
), a '44 wheat cent, an Islamic coin (if anyone can help with country of origin, year, and denomination I'd greatly appreciate it), and perhaps the best find of the day, an intact toy soldier with almost all of its original paint!! If anyone is good at dating these things, please post!! The soldiers helmet looks like the style worn by WWI Doughboys, so I'm hoping it's from that era, though it may not be that old. It was the deepest find of the day at about 4 1/2 to 5 inches. Oh yeah, I also dug $1.71 in clad. Despite the cold, mud, and dog poop (I think dog owners that don't pick up after their pets should be shot 
) I had a great afternoon, and I can't wait to get out again once it warms up more and I finally have my E-Trac...Pics are below. Enjoy!!
