Default Treasure of another sort

so this past summer, when my grandma passed, i bought the house my grandparents built; and have just started digging the yard all up.
I got me a case of the old cabin fever today- went out in the backyard for about an hour, dug this:
treasure-another-sort-cid__01-12-07_0159.jpg
its just a rusty old Bascal metal drinking cup from the 50's to look at it...
but to rewrite the classic credit card commercial yet again:

shovel: $17
two 9 volt batteries: $2.50
finding an albeit small piece of your own father's childhood, and getting him to gab about his memories for an hour or so: absolutely PRICELESS

God, I love this hobby.

Steve

That's what it's all about. Happy Hunting. May you unearth many more memories to share with your Dad.

Great find!!

It is nice to "dig up" some of your family history, keep digging, you don't know what you'll find next!!
