Ray some folks may not understand how much these items sell for! I've a friend who collects "old Toys", he buys them on the cheap side and mostly hangs onto them. He took his Dear Wife to a toy auction once so she could see how much they sell for. After the auction she told him he could buy all the old toys he wanted to. Nice collection you've got going..............63bkpkr

63bkpkr, thanks for the response I appreciate it. I also like your friends like nd collect antique toys.. Actually started that hobby before metal detecting but then finding antique toys with the detector made it that just much more easier for me. Thanks to the great radio days of the thirties and forties I find a lot of Radio premium toys giving out at those times. And then of course you always come across the Great old marbles. Jars fulls of them

Hi Ray,
One of the items I found while detecting some time back is a very cheap "Sharpshooter" ring. I suspect it was given out by the boatload to kids following saturday serials at the movies, in cereal boxes or in some other giveaway but I've never been able to locate any details on it. I was once offered $20 for it by a company dealing in collectables but I passed on it. I still have it, right in the same 35 mm film can with a sterling silver Mickey Mouse ring I detected.

Good luck with the hunt...........63bkpkr
