On the way home from work yesterday, I got permission to hunt a 1946 house close to where I live. The owner lives next door. It was his parents house, and it is now abandoned. He is giving the house away FREE, if anyone cares to move it. ;D
Anyways, I called Ridley and told him I had permission. We had time for a short hunt last night before it got dark. I dug a few relics (pictured), and three wheats (51, 51, & 51D).
Ridley dug the red toy firetruck, and then began working on a crater of a hole on another find close by. His find quickly changed from silver, to what he thought was a toaster. ;D He started laughing at the thought of digging up a toaster. I felt bad for him, so I went over to help him dig. Of course this monster was under a root. It got too dark to finish the dig, so he covered it back up for "another day".

I went back there tonight on my way home. I found a piece of a Roy Rogers token. I can see his face, a horse on the back, and "Good luck" and "RR", but that's it.
I attached a picture of a good one that I found on the net so you can see what it should look like.
Since I wasn't finding much, I decided to finish the "toaster" dig for my buddy. After digging, screaming, sweating, and prying with a rock hammer, I finally released this beast from it's underground lair. :P It turned out to be an old hubcap with "V8" on it.
I'm thinking Ford truck?

Ridley,
Sorry it wasn't a toaster, but at least you can fry eggs in it. It would also make a great sun hat. ;D

Thanks for looking,
MM
P.S. If we don't find anything better than these finds this weekend, feel free to boot us off TN. :o ;D ;D

Lol...you guys got one more chance...! :D ;D Then the boot! :D

No, your pictures are too good. ;D

I can't believe you dug that thing for Dave. I always tell Nate to give up on that big hunk of iron! :D

Only thing I remember digging for Nate was a tin cup that was down 12+ inches. It even sounded good on my explorer.

Thanks Bob. It's the least I could do since Dave dug all those marbles for us a few weeks back. ;D Besides, this hubcap will look great on my Toyota truck. :o

I'm impressed! No! AMAZED that you actually went back and dug that thing up! :D

When I saw it in the hole I was laughing so hard I couldn't dig. Maybe we can find a real toaster this weekend...

Doug. That was a fun hunt! The owner was extra cool too.


Thanks again!


Ridley
 
Nice try guys! Too bad about that RR token. HH, Mike
 
I admire your tenacity, if it isn't a coin or jewelry I just leave it in the ground. I know however that it's overload signature could be hiding some good stuff. Good luck at that place, hopefully you will be as lucky as Bio Prof was with the gold coins near the back porch. ;D
