The fleet so far - 9/29/2008 8:16:38 PM    cobaltbot Posts: 1682 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline The 30's dump near the scout cabin that I dig for about an hour on Sunday mornings is few on bottles but just loaded with rusty metal of all sorts.  I have gotten some great glass items considering the age of the dump but the amount of rusted toys is what surprises me.  I've gotten a few marbles but keep hoping for the motherload considering all the toys.  Here's some of the vehicles that have come out so far.

A good glass beading, paint and some new repop wheels and you would have some nice show offs there. If you ever decide to let any go I want first shot at that little A Model Roadster. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to glass man) Post #: 6

Found a great website for them: http://www.tootsietoys.info/index.html _____________________________ My tombstone will read: He went out for a walk and never came back....

I remember when Cracker Jacks was a real treat and now it is just a poison killer of children. Seemes to me that there are a lot of chemically filled people out there who just like to stir poop. I likes Cracker Jacks. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to glass man) Post #: 10
