Full Metal Detecting Speed Of The Wind Dinky Toy
Loading...
Uploaded by smoodiver on Jul 18, 2011
Got out for a quick bit of metal detecting, been just over a month since my last hunt. Didn't find to much, but we weren't going full on with it.
Best find was a Dinky toy called the speed of the wind, modeled after a car from the 1930s, I suspect it'll be the oldest toy car I'll ever find.

Yep, Dinky "Speed of the Wind".
Wikipedia has an article on both the real car and the model. Can't post link but has great pic of model with the protruding exhaust stacks.
I remember playing with one of those at my grandparents house in the early 1960's. I always thought it was an Auto Union till I started looking it up tonight.

Good find on the car.

@NQExplorers Yea that's the only link I could find to, just wish I could find out what the other marks meant, the globe and the asterisk looking thing, though I'm pretty sure the globe is their logo.

Mate the car is a magic find. I found the 'Valarium' silver: possibly John Round & Son, Tudor and Arundel silver works, Sheffield (est. 1847). Cheers mate and get out when you can in the chilly weather. HH.

@madsonicboating Cheers mate, seems to be a great place for old relics, need some better digging tools though to speed things up.

I look at that car and I think of the poor kid that lost it years ago who got home very upset. Sweet find.

@cactuskiwi As a kid a day down there could feel like a lifetime, I miss that feeling.
