Cool ambulance Rocket, pretty good condition coming from the beach. It's a Dinky 253 Daimler Ambulance.

Thanks GP
Some relics seem to come out better, from under tons of sand, than they do soil.

Just copper, it seems to spell "cheyenne", or similar.

went back for more treasure, tide was in, but I was still rewarded Going to soak the token in olive oil overnite, before I pick more crust off it.

More silver and a token, nice.
Nice work Rocket, thought that was a holey dollar for a minute.

The olive oil has revealed the identity of the token, its a stockton ferries one. Makes sense, as I recovered it from Stockton beach Prob used in a turn-style, when boarding the ferry between Newcastle and Stocko. Good part of Newy history, this one is identical to mine, it was used in the 1920s.

Always great to find an item with ties to local history, good find Rocket. The mobile might be beyond packing in some rice.

another beach hunt, got there on the incoming tide with RJ allready at it. Got a gold ring, picked alot of crud off it, and now its soaking....it maybe plated, but I hope not! The other ring is prob silver, both old rings. One of my 5 cents turned out to be a sixpence, neither of the kinder surprises were anything good.
