Daughter flew to China and left me the key to her pad. Median strips and parks. The EMI was brutal digging screwy deep signals out popped a 1905 s quarter. Don't get many of these around here so I was stoked. Found the baby doll turned up in the median strip. Hand full of wheats and junk, blissful weekend.

I've got well over a dozen Barber dimes but Barber street hasn't given up any larger for me...yet!

Grats and get back out there.

How big is the doll? Could be a frozen Charlotte/Charlie...

Great story. It is a Gorey tale and macabre I like it. Figure is 2 1/2 inches without legs. I have found other versions of these in the past, some quite small, others a little larger. always thought they were little penny porcelain dolls like my mum had from growing up in England. Thanks for the info and the story.
