    A couple gifts to the home owner

    I've been hunting a house built in 1926, and have done very well the past couple weeks... 3 mercs, 1 rosie, 2 war nickels and over 20 wheats. The man who lives there likes to chat, so I learned that he's lived his whole life there (70 yrs) and that he was born in 1940.

    I found this matchbox car and a wheat the yr he was born. I hope he likes them; has sentimental value!
    Wondering if he'll remember the car, probably one of his kids or perhaps even grandkid. It's a 1936 SS100 Jaguar,
    made in 1982.


    Here's some other goodies and places I've been lucky to hunt. I really like the 2 buckles, the stirrup and the spurrs, they were all found near the barn (sunset pic). HH! Thanks for looking.

    very neat thing to do Tana , just look at some of the relics , couple of D-buckles , part of a spur , an iron stirrup and it also looks like a trigger from sometype of gun , very cool finds.

    I hope he enjoys it. It may bring back some good memories. But he may just tell you to keep it too. Don't take it wrong if he refuses, he sounds like a real nice guy and may want you to have it too. Great idea. Let us know how it comes out.
    Finding relics is in my blood
