    Silver-Toys-Relic!

    Did a old house hunt, found a lot of clad, a bunch of toy cars, an emblem for a Ford Car, part of a cap gun, a 1927 Mercury Dime and solid brass money clip with a monogram on it. We will go back again later this week since we did a fast hunt due to a thunderstorm coming in.

    Great hunt, Tony! That's a nice looking 1927 Merc!

    Being a former Hot Wheels collector, I recognize the car at the upper left as a Hot Wheels "Ice T" from 1974.

    Thanks for sharing your video. That's a very nice Merc you found. Finding the old cars is always exciting, especially the really old ones.
    Great Job

    Nice digs. Boy that '27 Merc has a wide rim Maybe it's just because you have such a good close up of it, but it looks wider to me. Finding toy cars and toy guns is an excellent sign. That means that yard has a lot of kids playing and hopefully loosing money
    Finding relics is in my blood

    Great finds like that really bring back memories of growing up. Maybe I should stop by the house I grew up in and see if I can get permission to see what toys I left behind. There's probably toy cars and guns all over the place.

    Went back to the house where I got the Merc and money clip the other day to see if there was anything we missed, glad I did as I dug a 1946 Rosey.
