    1890s temperance token

    Had a good day in an old hunted cellar hole. 14 buttons in one hole. A real nice dandy button and this 1890s token.

    14 buttons in one hole means you found the spot where they threw out a shirt or blouse if they were all the same type. if they were different kinds maybe some one spilled over their button box would love to see a nice sharp front and back to the temperance medal .

    token is cleaned up so I will post a better pic soon.

    Going from my V3i to learning my CTX 3030 is going to be a challenge but once I get used to it should be tracking again.
