Got to go back to the site that gave up the 1817 large cent on Sunday. Things were slow but sure. Found a nice Migetoy futuristic Auto from 1948, with all four tires, a very nice advertisment mirror from Mary Garden Perfume, about 1910, an old sleigh bell that still rings, a carter-churchill button, a piece of jewelry, and a couple of belt frames. I was wondering around the back of the house and finally found a coin, a 1919 wheatie. About five minutes later I got a deep dime signal, which turned out to be about 8 inches deep. Would you believe a Spanish half real dated 1779. It is in really bad shape, but I am not going to argue. This was the oldest real I have found so far. I was getting ready to go and was swinging my detector as I headed for the car. It happened again. Got a signal, another 1817 large cent. To top it all off the weather was sunny with a nice breeze and about 75 degrees. What a great day....Lance

:o I am stunned at the great finds you make here. Isnt it funny how you always find the good stuff heading back towards the car?
 

Wow Lance!

Really great finds!!!!

;)
 

? ? ? Amazing finds!!! ? ?I would be there standing beside myself, if i ever made finds like those beauties.
?
That car looks kinda like a real one that was made, i think as a proto type, back in the 30's or 40's.
? ? I seen the real one, on one of the regular series car programs on TV. ? You might want to check it out. Because anything associated with it, is worth some money now.

Congrats ;D on another wonderful day! Maybe you should consider putting down your detector until the entire forum can come out and help! Just a thought! LOL Great Finds!
 

Really great finds there Lance!! WTG!! Old cars and coins...I agree with some of the others I would check out the values on the car.

those are some great finds. I like the coins and the little matchbox car. I wish i would find coins like that, maybe someday. good job and nice finds. Brad
 

Thank you all for the comments. I looked up the old car and it lists for about $20.00 with all its paint. It is still the coolest one I have found. I really like the older ones. Thanks again...Lance
 

Funny how I usually find my best junk on the first couple of digs which in turn just makes me work harder. Or I find it the last few digs and then don't want to leave! Excellent finds! JIM
 

You've made some real nice finds lately! HH, Mike
