It was wet and muddy and cold today, so I took a day off from the fields and hit a yard. This house was at least 1870's, but I couldn't find anything 1800's at all. The ground was a solid audio wall of iron... the owners, who bought it in 1967, said the former owners were a mess.....
But.... it was a good day for Tootsietoys. The first one I found was the red sports car (Fiat Abarth). After closing the plug, I ran my coil over it and got the same signal. Out came the blue one (Roadster?). A Tootsie spill!
Later in a different part of the yard I pulled out the Baja Run About... All of them are in great shape and happy to have 'em.
A few other odds and ends also included from that yard.
The cap gun is falling apart, but superglue is going to rectify that.
The cap gun kid also wrapped a dime in foil and buried it. I unwrapped the foil to find my shiny silver Roosevelt dime! Except....it's a 1967. The foil kept it shiny all these years.. Not cool, cap gun kid!!
