Silver #3 for the year

tomharris76 · Mar 22, 2011

Hi all, I stopped after work tonight at a spot I found on Google Earth. I was just going to do a drive by and see if it looked like it had potential, but of course I couldn"t resist the temptation to swing the coil. I was only able to spend an hour but found my 3rd silver of the year. It's only a 57' rosie but I am definately not complaining. I also found the toy motorcycle. It looks like it might have some age to it but there is no markings on it except the #7 on the front of the handle bars. If anybody has any ideas feel free to chime in. I cant wait to get back to this place. There is a lot of ground to cover and I should be able to pull a couple more silver coins out of there. Good luck out there everybody.

Your Motorcycle is a Matchbox form the early 70's.I remember having one just like it as a kid.it came wit a trailer so you could tow it behind another matchbox.If I remember right the trailer was somewhat orange in color.nice find :icon_thumright:

I went looking through my old matchbox cases from when I was a kid,Guess what I found it.

Thanks, that's awesome! I knew it wouldn't take long for somebody to ID that motorcycle. I thought it might be from around that time as I was finding pieces of broken hot wheels and matchbox cars from the 70's in the same spot.
