No Indians, but I did find the Boy Chief!

[Stormtrooper154]

Spent a couple hours out in a park today. First 2 targets were the Wheaties.....thought it was going to be a good day. However, no more old coins to come

1928, 1942 wheat's

I did pick up this old Boy Chief badge from about 7" down. It has a picture of a 20's fire truck on it. I have no idea if it is from then or they just never changed the design. But I don't think I have seen one that said Boy chief before, kinda cool. Picture of the badge and a 1928 fire engine for reference, like the one on the badge. Same vents, fenders, etc.

That's a sweet find, a real piece of history I think.
They don't give those kind of things out any more,
and if they did, they'd be plastic probably. Congrats!!

Smiles!

Nice looking badge. Great looking fire truck. Old fire trucks are a thing of beauty IMHO.
