    Some Park Hunts

    Seeing that the golf course is so overgrown I hit two parks this week.

    Years ago I had gotten a General Grant paperweight and a MASS chauffeurs license in this one park so I went back there. In the same area I got the Washington.
    Went to a different section of this park and managed one lonely wheat and a cool bucking bronco. This bucking bronco is very heavy, made of brass, so I am thinking maybe another paperweight. Thoughts appreciated.

    Went to another park and got a lot of clad and the metal dog.

    Looks like I will have to do some door knocking.....

    Thanks for reading and HH everyone

    Nice going on your finds Al . That 43 Quarter is in nice shape . I'm thinking the Bronco is either a paperweight or it was glued on a bookend at one time . Poodles were pretty popular in the Fifties , I wonder if that was on a purse .Good luck on your door knocking .

    Its funny how some hunts have a theme to them. It looks like this weeks theme was critters!
    Some vintage critters and some vintage coinage sounds like fun to me!
    Congrats Al Niño!

    Nice Washington quarter Al! Steve and I went to a big park in Hartford and all I got was a couple of 20's wheats in the same hole and Steve found a $5 Australian commemorative coin from Sydney Olympics, not silver unfortunately. I miss the golf course!

    Nice finds Al. Looks like you're finding at least one silver on nearly every hunt this spring. Keep it up sir!

    Great looking finds Al! I can't believe they aren't mowing that golf course for you! Cowboy-themed items were big 1930s to 1950s so maybe your bronco is from that era but I don;t know what it was used for. Is the backside completely flat like a paperweight?

    Yes, completely flat. That's why I think paperweight.
