Game from roaring 20's and some silver

[Timewarpdigger]

Was able to get out yesterday to a local park that I have been detecting on and off over the last few weeks. Found some interesting relics and a lot of clad, almost $20 in the last two weeks, part of a brass trigger guard, and a 39 merc.
So thought I would give it a try again and had some great luck. First interesting find was the "O-BOY" spinner game. When I first saw it I thought it was a large cent but then saw the edge and said oh no way. Then when I started to get some of the dirt off I could see the face and made out the arrow piece was a spinner. Turned it over and on the back it said that it was manufactured by the Bonne Chance Corporation New York City. I was able to find some information on it through advertisements dating in 1921-1922. Pretty interesting find.
As for the silver just after i found the game I found the 45d mer, then the 43 war nickle, and when I was heading back to the truck to leave hit the 35 Washington. My first three silver day. Also ended the day with another $9.45 in clad.
Thanks for looking, Safe & HH

Great day for sure, but the old game is by far the best find of the day in my opinion. Really hard to imagine how the spinner remained on the thing after nearly a hundred years in the ground. Rust, lawn mowers, etc. should have taken their toll by now, so it must be made very well. Congrats.

Very nice hunt. I always like it when there's a mix of silver and interesting artifacts. Those were the days when small toys were made out of real metal and not plastic or cardboard. Nice find.

I love that "O-BOY" spinner game! What a cool find and a great piece of Americana. I've never seen one like it.

Any chance we could get a close-up photo of just the spinner game? It would look great on the banner! :thumbsup02:
