Hey All,
Was invited to hunt two private yards today in Port Carbon, Pa by a friend of mine from Pottsville. Two very large yards with never ending signals, the homes both backed up to the railroad tracks and apparently there was a lot of trash thrown in the direction of these two homes.
Anyway, in addition to a nail apron half full of various trash I found the following eclectic mix of items: 1 Mercury dime - 1920, 14 pennies all dated from 1960 to 1967, 5 clad dimes - three of which were after '64 and before '70 and two that were 1976, 2 quarters - a 1967 and a 1980. Two old cars that look like Tootsie toys, 1 brass badge from a fire helmet (I think), the badge is marked "The Westfield Mfg Co", 1 old brass hinge, 1 baby spoon which appears to have been "gold" plated at one time, a Master key, 1 old porcelain button and a very heavy "headless" horseman. The horseman is cool, it looks like it may have been some type of civil war soldier on the horse because you can see a sword in a scabbard behind his leg, his pants were blue and his coat is red, no detail on his head because it's missing!!
Thanks for lookin'
Dave
