Compadre and Vaquero hunt

[tonyb]

The ground refuses to thaw here in Virginia but I was able to take my Vaquero and new Compadre on a few quick hunts. It has been as much as a hunt for a soft enough spot to dig as a metal hunt.I found a few small things with the Compadre in a trashy area that I had missed with the V .Found what I thought was a rare thing ,a large caliper Shell caseing that was rim fire instead of center fire like modern large hand guns. Also found a oxen or steer shoe. I had only seen one before and it was a gift to me from a family member.Old toy cap gun was a thrill to find also.The single tree bracket is the first one I have found that still has the hook on it.Small pocket knife was a very quick loud signal at about 4 in.The silver looking thing to the left of the car is the lid and top or a tube of something.Hopefully not hemroid cream or something like that.It still had a thick white cream in it even after at least 60 years.Amazing what you might find.

glad you got out and made some recoveries. The ground here in PA is as hard as a rock.

That car is really cool. How old do you think it is?

Put some wheels on it and it might even be worth something.

I like old toy cars.

HH,

The cream has probably gone beyond the expiration date - I wouldn't trust using it

Nice digs you have there
