[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 555242, member: 16749"] [b]Re: Weekly Challenge May 11 - May 18: Vintage[/b] Possibly a bit of a stretch. I don't know that this particular toy soldier counts as “vintage”, but it represents a sort of toy that has been around in very similar form since well before I was born. The concept is surely vintage, even if this specific item is not. I found this toy soldier in a field, earlier today, not far from my home. Last week, there was some sort of fair/carnival there, and it occurred to me that perhaps if I went there with my metal detector, I might have a better chance of finding things of actual value such as lost coins, jewelry, etc. No, not really. I mostly found pretty much the same sort of junk that I have found everywhere else. I did find 21¢ in coins, most of which looked to have been there much longer than just since last week. And this toy soldier. I had previously had a different idea as to what I was going to do with this challenge, but as I was sorting through my finds today, and this toy soldier again caught my eye, a different idea emerged.
