A Walk in the Park & a Couple Little Treats :tongue:

Spent some more time in the litlle park today, was doing OK on clad in the skateboard area until the young delinquents showed up. Decided to work the volleyball court / city dump area :ranting:, hoping for something that glitters. The finds speak for themselves, though I spared you about a bucket of recycling (each trip....). The best way I can look at it is that I am removing a LARGE number of buried cans and other metal junk in hopes that I will unmask some goodies. And I am finding a few more coins when I re-check previously hunted areas.

My favorite find of the day was a complete surprise - it was headed for the recycling bin when I noticed that there was some writing on it. Polished it up a little... lo and behold, it's a token! Totally scrunched and legible under loupe only, but a token none the less. It says "Good for 5 cents in trade" on one side, and "Watling Mfg. Co., Chicago" on the other. I thought that was pretty cool, as it's the city of my birth (though I haven't lived there in 28 years). Likely, of no value to anyone but me, which is fine (I tested it - not silver, likely Nickel).
Thanks for looking & luck in the hunt!!
 
I really like finding old tokens. Some are quite valuable too. You did good in the coin department too.

We got 6 inches of snow today.......:rant:
 
Thanks John,
Yep, I enjoy the tokens & buttons & oddball finds as much as the $$, though I did send a little bundle off to MidwestRefineries yesterday, hopefully they'll do right by me. The most frustrating thing yesterday was that there were a number of good sounding targets just under the weed cloth in the skateboard area, grrrr. It's hard to be ethical when there might be a nice early silver just an inch or two away :nono:
 
Great clad count, and some interesting stuff too??? What is that box with the plastic looking smoke in it???

HH,
 
GoGo, I think you're baiting me :rofl:
It is a one-hitter - stash goes in one side, you stuff the glass cig in to load it et voil
 
I was never much into that stuff, so I am stupid in that department...See why I was never into that stuff...lol

HH,
