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! :lol:
Some vintage critters and some vintage coinage sounds like fun to me! :thumbsup02:
Congrats Al Niño! :grin:
 
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.
