There are several of these and their blue counterparts laying around at my grandparents’ farm. I was tempted to grab them to sell as collectors will pay top dollar for them. I’d love the prize, too. The only problem with easy ones like this is all the competition.

As kids, we used to find lots of these near ******** *******. My friend was always collecting them and bringing them home. Many years later he told me that they were collectors items and he had been selling them for money, but hadn’t told me at the time so he could have ’em all to himself… (some friend, hey?)
Good Luck!
