This is a tiny token much smaller than a dime. Got a solid signal with the Compadre set just before the 5 cent mark on the dial. Dug the plug and could not find the target it was so little. Kept digging up dirt with my fingers and got down almost 8 inches when the signal shifted to my soil mat. After sifting carefully this tiny thing was in my fingers. Never seen one before, it's likely from the early 1900s.

thats really nice , compadre likes the little things
Yes, in researching it a bit find that it's a Jacksonville Florida trolley token from the early part of the 20Th century. The "traction" nomenclature is what they called similar firms of the day. I found references on line to other communities with same thing. The value of such a piece varies from $2.50 to $7.00.

A very cool find . Like the Tabman said a Pro pointer is a good thing . I never go detecting without one . Trying to find little targets in the plugs without one can use up a lot of your detecting time .

I think it is a transportation token, most likely an old bus token from the 30'era or there abouts. I found one about like it from the Portand, Or. area. Mine says Portland Traction Co.
Does yours say "Good for one Fare" on the other side ?? I was told mine was an old bus token. Really nice find, is a nice looking token.

Nice find and in great shape as well. That is the type of stuff I love to find, odd, unusual, but really neat. Not sure why but the Compadre really hits on the small deep stuff. I found what looks like a button but is about 3/4 the size of a dime, about 1/32' thick, made of brass, 4 holes spaced like a button, about 6" down. If it is out there the Compadre will find it. WTG and HH.
