got excited ..... for a minute

[woody_g]

have not been able to get out much this year since my knee and acl surgery. but got out for an hour last week before the ice storm and found this got that warm fuzzy feeling when I popped this out of the ground.when I first saw it looked like a real good find til I knocked the dirt off of it and saw Marlboro on it my heart sank.seeing the star and the longhorn I was real excited being in Ft Worth area there are plenty of relics that have these types of features that are really nice finds.putting a picture of an old find with it to show what I mean.

The real McCoy would have been wonderful, but that Marlboro badge is fine and dandy in my book.

I've had plenty of them moments but the other day I was going through some of my junk and found this round disc I'm not sure why it was in my junk but I cleaned it up and it was a 1838 large cent.

yeah I was going through a bucket of old finds and found all kinds of things I have not seen in years.

Might not be what you were looking for.But that still was a nice find.HH.

The warm fuzzy feeling is what it's all about anyhow, the finds are just extra gravy! Nice find!

Very cool badge !!! I'm sure that on got your heart going !!! Even if it's not the real thing it's a keeper !!!

 

[CoilyGirl]

It's still a cool find even though not the real deal.

I think I dug one of those marlboro key chain fobs some years back

 

[BabyNeedsANewPairO'Shoes]

Looks like Marlboro plagiarized that badge!

 

[woody_g]

agreed it is a nice find but when I first saw it I was expecting something much older.have to admit I was a little disappointed would have been nice to get a badge instead.maybe next time.HH

 

[Damon64]

Great find anytime! You don't need to find no stinking badges! haha
