Then tried another well hunted domain, 4 silvers today, silver plated Maori chief badge, $21 in spendies, little drummer soldier man, a whistle and a pile of penny's. Also had a couple short hunts over the past week and managed 6 silvers ( not shown).

I'm beginning to think the little drummer men may have been a free toy from a cereal box lol

There's a whole series of these kinder surprise toy soldiers huns,swiss, Scots and picts etc usually about 4-10 from each country. http://m.ebay.com/sch/i....kinder+surprise+soldiers Edited by user Tuesday, 12 May 2015 9:52:39 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
