"DIGGERS" Token Found

[jimmyk]

HI, all:

Well this is strange. Was hunting the Camp/Skirmish site I've been hunting the last month with my F 75 when I dug a token. When I cleaned it up I found it was from the "Diggers" of TV fame. I confess to watching the show, although I fast forward through the cartwheels and hooping and hollering. I like to see what they find. The face of the token says "Trade Dollar" and a shield with the letters "ATC" on it. I've seen the logo on their shirts and hats, but never knew what it stood for. On the reverse are four figures with metal detectors with the words "Anaconda Treasure.Com" across the top (ATC).Also above the detectorists are four names, including "K.G." and "Ringey". I went on the website and saw their promo stuff. I sent them an email to let them know I found one of their tokens and to ask what it was worth. Never got a response. At any rate, it sure makes me wonder what the token was doing there, I know they use Garrett detectors on the show,

Thins that make you go hmmmmm,

i've heard in the rumor mills, there are detectorists who will leave behind tokens they have made in holes where a item was found letting someone know " i've been here already "
is this what it is? not sure, but i've seen some that say " detectorist whatshisname was here and beat you to the punch " cool find!

They were there and left the token behind on purpose, is my guess. From the looks of your finds of late, they didn't get it all. Neat find, whatever the tale may be. HH jim tn

I think you hit the nail with the hammer. I made a bunch of rings for those guys as a fundraiser.
