Same old Apts but a whole new treasure!

[Ronstar]

Still working away at the those old apartments! Last Friday jkline and I hit a few more wheaties and he managed another Merc, we split up and I headed for an area behind one of the units. I hit an area that started screaming high quarter numbers and thought maybe I was gonna make it rich! Instead, small car after small truck after Matchbox type little ones just kept popping out. It was stupid crazy!!! Had to have been a designated tot lot at some point. Various depths but none deeper than 6-7” and most in the 3-4” range. These are first soak and rinse pictures and I think the larger ones I will be able to get model info off of and the smaller strike me as older. Will update as I identify......

Let me tell you about bottle caps....

Awesome collection of vehicles!! You found a used car lot

 

[Ronstar]

I sometimes find maybe a toy or two and only have 4-5 cars over the last couple years. Digging these was just insane...... filled up my secondary pouch on front in about half an hour.

Now you need to find the silver dimes that little Jonny placed in the back of the pickup truck

Found one myself the other day. Not very sporty looking but kinda cute. Found at a middle school sports field, down four inches. Has all the wheels, still rolls, needs new paint. Rear view mirror on both sides, exhaust pipe.

So far it looks like no Ferraris in the group but all in all not that bad a shape. As best I can guesstimate maybe $1-2 value to a beginning collector. I was surprised how well they survived in the ground!!
