It's not all about coins and jewelry; those old toys add luster to the hobby, too!

Love the old tractor! One of my fave finds is a bent toy red Petrol truck made in England just before or after WWII. For me, digging up an old toy has even better feel than a nice coin or jewelry, because I know some kids had a lot of fun playing outdoors with it back in the day. HH Andi
