    Last Saturday's Hunt = A Holed In One

    Got out for a bit to a new site on Sat. Nabbed a few goodies. Looks like I got a KG II but not so sure as it's pretty smooth. I think I can see a bust facing to the left, what say you guys?

    Also got a Silver plated spoon that says Clegg's Café on it, was able to find a place in the 1901 NC Directory but not sure if that's the same place as this.

    Also got a pocket watch. Says Manufactured By The Ansonia Clock Co. Patented April 17th 1888 New York United States of America

    On the way out I checked what was a house site that was there in 1953 and was torn down about 1988. Got some lead toys as well as a few Wheaties: 41, 44D, 48, 52 + 2 Dimes: 66 & 68D.

    Thanks Guys! The Tootsie Toy is my 1st complete one. Years ago I found a mangled hood to a Porsche. I bet there are more goodies there.

    That coin is so smooth that you can barely see a very slight detail.

    Nice finds Roger, you ever find an entire super large crotal?
    I can't see anything on that coin, although I have Mr. Magoo eyes.
