So this cat, 2 elephants, a Russian, & an American were waiting for a train.

Since getting an Excalibur, my Ace 250 has been mainly unused, lying forlornly
in the back of the truck looking lost.
Yesterday it sort of looked at me like an unloved puppy and I am sure I heard
it say....... "Pick me pick me".......So i did.
Went to an old park yesterday and today and had a ball with it.
I had forgotten just what a joy it is to use. Switch on, jewellery mode, and
into action. Light to swing, pinpointing a breeze.
It truly is a coin magnet. Dug more old coins than I ever had, I could not believe
the number of old pennies and handfuls of early decimal coins as well as current
coins. Also a strange pipe , second one this year.
Now I know the title is a bit cheesy
But I did find a cat, a tiny little one made of lead, a nice little silver ring with
elephants on it, a 15 Kopek coin and a US cent. Plus a toy steam loco.

Some really nice finds. Yup, that is what was called a hash pipe When I was in scholl I used to make them for a little "head shop' I worked for. The ones we made were all made from brass lamp parts, not sure what this one was made from. Loved that old train too!!!

the good ship St Pauli in 1843.
