    6 Hours & 92 Coins Later

    Unfortunately no silver this time around. Went to a local park yesterday and I guess I'm getting rid of the easy stuff so I can get down to real business........

    Also dug two (2) tokens of some type that I'm in the process of cleaning to see what they are.

    Good hunt, that.

    Please post pics of the tokens when you get a chance. Tokens are one of my favorite finds.
    I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.

    That's a good way to get to the deeper stuff, remove the surface targets. That quite an amount you have there too. Some of the older stuff should start showing up in future hunts. thumbsup01

    Yep, get rid of that surface stuff and hopefully if the park is old, the goodies will appear lol That clad does look good in a bowl though. That's where mine lives

    Here's the two tokens I found. The one on the left appears to be a arcade token or something simular. The one the right turns out to be a Arizona State Tax Token circa 1940's. As you can see be the photos mine are in pretty bad shape, prob from being buried for years.....




    Here's what the tax token is suppose to look like

    I love the Arizona tax token. Never seen either of those. It could well be an arcade token, or could it be a old casino token of some kind??
