    Finds from Park & Woods

    Here are a few finds from a couple of hunts at a park and in some woods. The soap token is about the size of a half dollar and is one of the better ones I have ever found.

    The bullets look like blanks that would be used by any military organization (American Legion for example) at ceremonies. Your soap token is a beauty and could your pocket knife possibly be a Case knife? Now could you set up some trail cams and catch the idiot that is leaving open plugs.

    I have a few of those tokens myself. Great recoveries - those big aluminum tokens always look like half dollars when you first see them in the hole. WD

    There is quite an assortment of these Palmolive's in regard to exchange on the Aluminum ones. The copper/brass ones I've only seen one version. My photo shows three varieties of the Aluminum. 1 for 1, 2 for 1, 3 for 2. For some reason I have found a lot of these. 7 in total. Great find

    I have a few of them too Milco. 'Good for two cakes'. lol

    Have found lots of those old spent cartridges at churches. 21 gun salute?

    Always like to see what you find in those old street construction sites. When is the next one?
