I was hunting a field along Onondaga Creek today. This area was once a farm. It has been a school yard and soccer field since the early 60s. I always find clad and periodicaly find some goodies. I have pulled both gold and silver from this patch. Today the field did not disappoint me for my efforts.
In the middle of the soccer field there is a lot of deep garbage. The unofficial dump site is not far from an old beat-up, bullett ridden sign that says "No Dumping". I have dug up some garbage that predates the school by twenty or thirty years. Every now and then I venture into the old dumping area and see what I can find. Today I got a hit that sounded much better than an old can and decided to see what it was. I dug down about six inchs and found this toy car. It was manufactured by Manoil Toy Company from Waverly New York. They made toy cars , airplanes and diecast soldiers during a period from 1929 to 1959.
I am always happy to add a new toy car to my collection and although this one (Six Inch Long) is kinda beat up I figure it will make a nice addition. While admiring my new toy and cleaning off the caked mud, I noticed a round object sticking in the mud. Attached to the car via the mud was a 1905 V Nickle.
:cheering: Whaaa-Whooo! :cheering:
It was a good day to be out hunting.
