Vacant lot finds this morning - Pics now

[Monty]

Got out early and went to an old fall back site, two huge lots where houses were torn down.? I thought I'd better get back there while I can as a sign went up saying a new Methodist church was going up on the lots soon.? The first lot was where a 2 story garage apartment stood and the other was a fairly nice single story home,? I knew the children of the former property owners as I went to school with them,? Could not find a trace of the two story building at all!? ?The lot was stripped and graded level.? The second house had a concrete pad of some sort still remaining, probably a backyard patio, and I? could kind of orient on that.? Sorry, no silver today just 4 or 5 old Hotwheels buried along a fence line, a golf ball incidental and some rusted hinges, looks like off a storage shed?? I have the Hotwheels soaking in detergent and warm water to clean them up a bit and then I will take some pics and post them.? Monty

Pics now!? Thought scoop was old until I saw Tiawan stamped on it!? It has 5 oz on the other side.? Five oz. of what?The little panel truck is NYCFD, brought to mind 9/11 Monty

Nothing wrong with that Monty.

I would add them to my "Used Car Lot". Besides, it will give you something to play with on those rainy days. VVRRRooooommmmmmm !!

Cool finds Jim! I'd try to figure out where the driveway was and the entrance to the house and try to detect around there! I found a bunch of coins in my gravel driveway.

These little cars are not from the era of my youth and I can't explain how they got there.? The oldest one was dated 1986 and the lots had been vacant several years by then.? I has been constantly grown up in weeds since about the mid 70s.? There is a newer daycare center nect door and perhaps some of the kids threw them over the fence?? It's a mystery to me.? I'll go back when the church construkction starts and they cut the grade with heavy equipment.? I got a lot of signals at or below 12" deep that I did not digdue to the dry hard clay .? I suspect many of them are aluminum cans or large rusted iron objects from past experience diggilng similar signals.? Monty

I am wondering if I am the hotwheels king of the forum? I found 13 at one site, seven or eight in my own yard and about a dozen others one or two at a time and now these! I give them to my Granddaughter and she has a big plastic bag full of them.
