Tootsie Toy Found Metal Detecting

The 1940’s Orange Woody Station Wagon Tootsie Toy found metal detecting using the Minelab Equinox 800 metal detector at my latest 1902 homestead location. This toy is one of my favorites to date! The shape, the color, the size. It is simply amazing!

Day 2 at the new location. All of this was started by the discovery of a 45 wadcutter found in a tot lot playground. After that discovery, research led me right to the 1902 homestead area. Walking right to the treasures was a delight from just a short bit of investigation.

She was a screamer 30-32 on the Minelab Equinox 800 and really wasn’t all that deep. Just around 2 inches or so. Read more Blogs.

Unearthing this treasure was special, but after a little bit of clean up, I was amazed by the popping orange color!

Looking on eBay, there were a few examples of this exact toy, and the price is right! Most going for over $30. I had no idea an old Tootsie Toy demanded such money. To my surprise, there are other color variations of this same station wagon. Digging tons of targets on this day, the new location is HOT HOT HOT and looking forward to finding even more treasures soon!
