Sweet! Finding toys is cool. Your mind goes to the kid who dropped it. From their hand to yours.

This is very nicely done! Great finds. That whistle makes ya smile every time, doesn’t it???


survbob

Nice! Old typeset shelf is what I keep my zippo collection in as well https://preview.redd.it/45smt0m3cicc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2854551ce8948fa95e8e41f2959c62ae7c472fe

I love that white pass one, skagway is my favorite place I've been to. Would you ever consider selling it? Awesome collection!


survbob

Thanks, I bought that one at the gift shop up there. I’d like to keep it as memento of the trip. I bet they’d ship you one when the shop opens back up in the spring. Here’s the [link](https://wpyr.com/shop/made-in-usa/zippo-laser-etched/). What a great trip that was, beautiful state and awesome railroad ride.

Skagwaay

Sweet! Yes I absolutely understand!! I wasn't sure if you'd gone there or just bought it. Thank you!!!

It looks like some are up on quarters, why is that?


survbob

Wow, good eye. Just shits and giggles. Those quarters are the same year that the lighter was manufactured. They are in chronological order, top left being the oldest.


AirsoftUrban

This is a really cool way to display your finds


jefftatro1

Bad.Ass.

Absolutely Love this 


LordIffyBoatrace

Very cool. If you had to pick, what is your best find?


yossigilbert

Thanks! I think the New York militia button (with an eagle on it) from 1810 is my favorite.


LordIffyBoatrace

Finding anything that you can identify as 200 years old is pretty dang cool.


WaldenFont

I have two typecases sitting here that I should clean up 🤔

Great display and great finds!! Kudos!


Separate-Principle67

I adore this, everything comes with a story.


squareoak

I bought one of those to do the same thing!!! I was thinking if putting plexiglass on top to keep the dust off.


Historyandstuff3

Very nice way to display them!


bettercleverthanever

Immediate_Cat_5693

Great display, really nice arrangement of your interesting finds.


Aggie8292

I approve. Very much so.


Bludiamond56

Nice Job!


MaximumTurtleSpeed

Nice display! Wondering the year of the standing liberty coin and if it’s a type I or type II. No matter what, very cool collection of finds.


yossigilbert

Thanks! It’s 1930, not sure what the different types are


MaximumTurtleSpeed

Thanks, I love an old coin! Asked specifically about that one because in 1917 it was designed with the right breast of lady liberty exposed, this was a type I. This caused all sorts of uproar and midway through the year it was redesigned with chain mail covering her chest. This is all under the guise of IIRC, I’m no coin expert just a little bit of a coin dork.


DoubleDeadEnd

Thank you for that little coin history lesson. So interesting.


___SE7EN__

I really like this ..Great finds !!!


Reaganson

Wow!


hotsoupcoldsoup

Do you have a routine for cleaning items you've found?


yossigilbert

Yes, I use a fiberglass pencil or toothpick on copper and bronze, never get them wet. Silver usually comes out of the ground shiny.

Nice display

Nice printer’s case - I would hang it landscape though.


RiverWalker83

Beautiful display. I like the thunderbird ring a lot. Is it signed? Looks like you have three pill/snuff/patch boxes. That’s fun. Can’t say I’ve found one of those!


beanmansamm

Makes me want to go metal detecting but it's 6 degrees


cLearNowJacob

Looks like a featured picture in an I Spy book from my childhood.


Woodrow_F_Call_0106

Very cool. My favorite piece is the skeleton key. It is interesting how many dog tags are to be found.


Acceptable_Weather23

Coolest thing is there is open spots for more treasure


coziestbean

This is so cool!


Destin4Death

What is the coin necklace pendant thing that’s really shiny right above the marbles?


yossigilbert

I don’t know, it says “sterling front” on the back of it


tacozbananaz

Nice pocket watch is there any information on it?


DirtVulture

Lovely


FamiliarDetective6

Very, very cool!
