This Weekends Token Finds

[Digger Don]

Alec and I went out for a while on Sunday. The first four houses we tried said no, but on number 5 we got a yes. We got a couple of Silvers and 11 wheats. But the tokens were popping up everywhere. Alec dug a 1930s General Motors Pontiac Token then a much newer Dairy Queen token. I dug an Indianapolis 500 token with no date on it, a game token with a castle on it, a Smokey the Bear Token & a newer John Adams $1.00 Coin. I wish they were coins, but I'll take them.
We also got a few cool relics. I'll post them with the coins.

These presidential coins seems to be popping up recently. I was first to post about one this year. They are still legal tender even tho the series was geared more toward collectors. And your post shows the reality of what u can go with asking permission. First 4 a no.. wow. But it happens. Still u got some different finds. I'm still debating to post about my Saturday hunt. It's just...."seriously I found these out in the woods?"

Nice bunch of tokens. The early Presidential coins were made for circulation, go to the bank and you can get plenty without a problem.

Nice finds Don. I like the Pontiac token the best and I think you should try to get a free sundae at DQ! BTW, the game token with the castle is from Aladdin. Best wishes and HH, Dave.

Cool Tokens. I like finding them.

I posted a presidential token a couple days ago. Looks like the one you have here but Garfield. Is there a date on the edge?

Yes there is. But it's unreadable, at least to me.

Nice bunch of token. Last year I dug a Pontiac one. Great persistence onn your door knocking. I have to agree with everyone else, those tokens ring up so good.

Nice job Don. Agree with DaddyDigger that the Pontiac token is your best find. Advertising GM token from the 50s or so. The Alladin token more like the 70s/80s. Sorry to hear about the 4 "no's" in a row. I usually only have a couple of sites in mind at any given time, so if I got two "no's" in a row (never had that happen) I'd probably call it quits and head to the park or public woods. Awesome that you had the persistence.

We usually get a yes right away. Four is a record for us. We don't usually plan ahead, we just drive around until we both agree " Thats the One" .Then more often than not, we end up doing the neighbors as well.
