Awesome gift from DirtyKnees Tim

Full Metal Digger

Today I met up with Tim (aka DirtyKnees) to purchase a Sunray probe from him. He was showing me all the amazing stuff he has been finding lately. He has got a little bit of everything from old coins (capped bust half dollar) to Civil War buttons and all kinds of cool tokens. I noticed he had found two Model-T Ford ignition keys. I was telling him that I had read that Ford had manufactured over 15 million Model-T's but only had 23 different ignition keys from 1919 to 1927! They are numbered 51 to 74. I looked at his and saw he had found a #70 and a #73. I mentioned I had made a little display case for the three I had found and then HE GIVES ME THE TWO HE FOUND!!! What a generous thing to do! I am very touched by his kindness. Thank you very much Tim. I will add them to the display and show them proudly.
