I'll play thumbsup01 A BIG Thank You to Judy for putting this on. You put alot of time in these contests and its very much appreciated

[Dimeman]

Here is my entry. I dug this from my brothers front yard back in 1972 using my 1st detector bought in 1969, an old Relco BFO detector.

[Ill Digger]

I too have to commend Judy for a well run and put together contest. Very professional thumbsup01
Also a special thanks to Rob, Angel, and Steve for the prize donations !! Very cool !! 8)

O.K. here's my entry. It's a old Tootsie Toy race car. 8)
Dug last summer in front of an old house, right along the edge of the side walk.


Good luck everyone !!

A note of interest concerning the Tootsie Toy Race Car pictured here is that I lost it in the backyard of my family home somewhere between 59 and 62 years ago (I guess what goes around comes around). I found it buried in the backyard on January 30, 2011. I am the only child that has lived in that house since 1950 (I lived there with my mother and father from 1948 through 1950). So, I must conclude that I was the one who lost it. The era for this car is correct. The home where I found this car has been in the family for around 100 years, and is still occupied by my dad.

Found this in 2010's finds. Didn't even know I had it Must have found it hunting with Angel in the parks

Very good auto show contest Judy....Thanks... ... and ..... a special thanks to all those forum members who put up the prizes... <:

I found this entry several months ago, in large gravel tot lot and it was buried about 8 inches deep.... It would appear, that someone really wanted it gone....

Thanks again Judy....Very well done...
