Triple Merc's and a Motorbike
Andy (DD-777) invited me up to his neck of the hood woods today to detect an old property field. Beautiful old property but we soon found out the field was full of fill dirt.
We then decided to try to score permission at one of the old house we spotted just down the road. Since Andy is a bit intimidating, I told him to sit tight in the car while I put on my charm. We ended up scoring on the first property we stopped at which was a mid 1800's house. Very nice people.
I dug a Merc right off the bat by a large Oak tree in back of the house. Andy was digging TootsieToys like crazy in a small radius close to one of the outbuildings. I scored a few more Merc's and some wheats close to that same outbuilding.
Also dug what looks to be an earring (?) and a 1960's (?) TootsieToy motorcycle. Very cool toy.
UPDATE: The motorcycle is a Honda made by Lesney. It was part of a cycle/ trailer combo in the 60's. Solved by "Diggin the Past".
My Mercs were: 1939, 1943 , 1945
The oldest wheat was a 1920.
Thanks again Andy & good luck to you guys out there tomorrow. If Joe digs any 1800's silver please hit him over the head with your shovel and leave him there!

P.S. I really like cruising in your Hispanic Titanic land yacht.
