    Lots of digging and not a lot of treasure.

    I must first apologize to everyone.
    I know how you are always looking forward to my trash piles. Click image for larger version Name: laugh.jpg Views: 30 Size: 9.2 KB ID: 183532
    Well this time I accidentally deleted the pic of a mountain of trash from the last two hunts. Click image for larger version Name: crying2.gif Views: 27 Size: 21.8 KB ID: 183533
    Two days worth of recyclables. Click image for larger version Name: phpmtmlrIAM.jpg Views: 28 Size: 115.8 KB ID: 183534 And a camera lens that looks like it was in a fire. Click image for larger version Name: php4YCNWdAM.jpg Views: 27 Size: 106.0 KB ID: 183535
    Forget ring finders. I should start a business for finding keys. Click image for larger version Name: phpm2vqo3AM.jpg Views: 28 Size: 153.2 KB ID: 183536 Far more pennies than I want. Click image for larger version Name: phpQ1PryBAM.jpg Views: 26 Size: 88.4 KB ID: 183537
    And some square nails to show that older stuff was possibly nearby. Click image for larger version Name: phpupRc1VAM.jpg Views: 23 Size: 120.6 KB ID: 183538

    But it is one of my better IH pennies. Click image for larger version Name: phpWrH11OAM.jpg Views: 27 Size: 136.1 KB ID: 183541 I had high hopes for this one when I first saw the design.

    But when I turned it over I saw that it was made in Taiwan. Click image for larger version Name: duh1.gif Views: 25 Size: 6.9 KB ID: 183543

      Hey Bruce, I like the toy push mower. Looks like it is well made.

        I was surprised Ron. When I got it all cleaned up the wheels and blades still turn.

        I think that I will pass on that one Chase. Gotta look good for the ladies you know.

      Nice to see one of those. Toys that is, and it's a dinky.....

      Glad I don't have to push a real one anymore.
      Some pretty cool stuff.
      That's a nice streamline bottle opener with the keys.
      It is a "Rock" when it's on the ground.
      It is a "Specimen" when picked up and taken home.

        Thanks Jess, I had enough of that when I was younger. 2 acres of grass with a push mower once a week for 4 years.
        By the way I like your saying about rocks and specimens.

          Ooh, love the mini mower!!! I'm a dollhouse miniaturist & can really appreciate the authentic details. A miniature collector would have loved discovering that treasure!

            Thanks Deb I have always enjoyed finding toys but I never looked at them from your perspective before.
