Hey all,
Got back to the park for about 90 minutes tonight and again made some good finds. This time I came up with more wheats, a Chester Arthur presidential token, a '35 merc, and a silver religious medal. The coins are tough to get. Lots of small nails and other trash, and the good coins I'm typically finding at 8 to 12 inches.

Hey Chris, I just read that your token was made by the Scoville CT Co in the early 20th century. Nice pile of finds!

Congrats on a great bunch of finds. I really like the Chester Arthur token. It's an oldie! He was President in 1885 I believe. Great Find!!
