Thats right, I have never dug 10 matchbox cars out of one yard before ! The house was not old by hobby standards. It was built in 1958. Thought I might pick up a newer silver, but it wasnt meant to be. Had to do the yard before the owner puts it up for sale next month. 10 Matchbox cars, 49 clad coins and 14 pieces of trash. 73 targets is an awful lot for one yard. Anybody want to buy a used car ? !

Haha...instant collection!
 

Hi, nice finds. Nice collection of toy cars you found:icon_thumleft:
 

They had boys for sure.......I actually buried some of my cars when I was younger...don't ask why it was an imagination thing. Nobody has imagination anymore.....
 

Cool finds, congratulations! :occasion14:
 

Reminds me of lyrics in an Alan Jackson song, "drove a hunert thousand miles on my knees....."
 

They ring up so sweet too.
 

That's one heck of a tot lot! Congrats! :thumbsup:
 

Wow, that's a heck of a lot of cars. Anyone ever topped that? My high was 3 or 4 I think.
 

You have your own used car lot now!
 

Excellent hunt
 

Thats an awesome lot you got there.
Your trash to treasure ratio is incredible.
Mine was completely opposite last weekend :/
 

I enjoy finding those toys, it breaks up the day and adds to the collection - and I'm thinking someday I'll find a child to give them to.

So far in my modern hunt era I've found:

4 cars
1 passenger train car
1 Bigfoot truck
1 train engine with that happy face on the front - like NOT my generation
1 dinosaur
1 shark

Maybe they'll make a little child happy some day. I don't play with them things anymore, after all - I'm an OOLLLDDDD man :(
 

Nice. The beach is good for these also. Most of them will not start up however. :laughing7:
 

I usually dig the matchbox cars on the beach, they sound just like a quarter, or a silver ring... Congrats!
 

I like those matchbox cars looks like a used car lot , Keep looking theres gotta be some gems there
 

Congrats on your new record,, now go dig up 10 Tootsie Toys.
Congratulations on a nice hunt

Thanks ATW. I was thinking they would have been real nice if they were Tootsie Toys. Those are some nice cars to dig.
