Short School Yard Hunt / 8 wheats & token

[Digger Don]

I went out for an hour after work today at a local school built in the 60s. I hunted around an old baseball diamond that hasn't been used in years. I dug 8 wheaties, 1 aluminum token about the size of a half dollar and a buck & a half in clad. I'm starting to find the wheats, Now for the silver.

No I don't. There is no date on it. It was about 5" down at a school built in the 60s.

If you're finding that many Wheaties you've got to be getting closer to finding silver, Don! Don't be afraid to dig some iffy non-repeating signals once in a while. Sometimes those silver coins are partially masked by nearby iron or junk.

That E-Trac won't let you down once you've mastered it!

I'm gonna guess it's closer to 70's or 80's, but no newer than that. Obviously it's a token from a fair held in the town or even on that school property or amusement park in the area. Searching online I found the park which was Riverside in Agawam, MA, now Six Flags, used to have those skillfull winner tokens. They weren't identical, but it became Six Flags in 1999.

Thanks for the encouragement, Tony . I only need 3 more to double last years total

I figured about the same thing. It's a cool find, I like digging Tokens

Those large aluminum tokens give me heart attacks every time. Especially if the rim is reeded. You got a nice haul of wheats and a neat looking token.
