Scraped By Again

[Carolina Tom]

I went back to the old neighborhood that is being redeveloped. The bulldozers have been scraping away the trashy top layer.



I found a hand full of modern coins, and eyeballed 3 marbles. Here are some marbles in the wild, just before capture.



Some little slugger let this YMCA medallion get away.



As soon as this shiny dime came out, I knew I was in the silver. Last of it’s kind, 1964.



That was the only silver that showed up, but I also found 10 wheaties, and eyeballed a Monopoly game house, and policeman’s head.



Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts!

Congrats on yet another Rosie find Tom.
Love the look of this YMCA baseball piece, is there anything written or stamped on the back?

Looks to be from the 1940s - 50s.

Looks like a fun hunt and a great opportunity for non-metallic surface finds as well!
