I've hunted a yard in my hometown a few hours here and there over the last few weeks, and there haven't been a lot of finds, but I have gotten a few firsts. The first one was a cool pressed steel truck I found the first day there, in the front yard. I gave it to the homeowner to show her son, and she cleaned it up. A few days later I was in the back yard, and I found a twin to that truck. I cleaned it up, and I still can't quite make out the name. It starts out Renw_, and under that is No. 14 and U.S.A. Both of them still have the plastic wheels, and they both roll. Any ideas on age? I was guessing late 50's or early 60's. The next two firsts came on the same day. I was getting a solid 11-46/11-47. I could tell it was a silver medallion as soon as I popped it out of the dirt. I cleaned it up a little, and I could see it was from the Loyal Order Of Moose. It is stamped sterling on the back, and it has a little maker's mark next to it that looks like an Aladdin's lamp. It looks like it has some gilding on the front? I'm going to get the video up in the next few days, and I show the back on there. I showed this medallion to the homeowner, and I offered to let her have it. She did keep it, but I think she'll probably give it back to me eventually. The last first was my first Seated Liberty coin, an 1877 Quarter. It is in pretty rough shape, and the back is worn almost smooth, but I love it any way. Her are just a few pics. The video will show everything much better. Thanks for looking and happy hunting!
