Today's Mix.
Today I was detecting at my In-laws property by a huge old Oak. They told me there was a trailer on the property near the Oak when they bought it in the 70's. I located the water line for this trailer, it was a brass valve with a brass pipe leading somewhere. I covered that back up and marked it off. My first find was a 1978 Lincoln cent, then I found an old toy Dump Truck. The back reads: "Dump truck, Match Box, Series No 48, Made in England By Lesney". A little research told me it was from the 1960's. I also found 3 war nickels (2-1943, 1-1945 all Philadelphia Mint). Found this old key, reads "Atlas Keys Cleveland Ohio" has an "A" and the number "78" in a circle. Also is stamped with the word "Kresge" and 2 letters I can't make out. My best find was this 1927 1 FRANC coin. When I first saw it, it was on edge and I thought I found GOLD! It is actually made of Bronze and Aluminum. It was way to hot to detect much longer than an hour so I have more ground to cover next time.
