Dont toss those flat washers just yet.....

[Ism]

I got permission to search the yard of an old abandoned farmhouse. Metal debris is strewn all over the property and the grass and weeds are difficult to negotiate.

Anyhow, I dug a good signal that turned out to be a flat washer....or so I thought until I got it home and looked closer.

The pic isnt of the token I dug, but its the exact same one.

I gave up on the house because it was intolorable to search. Now I'm thinking of giving it another shot.

Very nice find.

Burnham Gum Machines are collectables in the arcade/vending machine collecting circles. Apparently they operated back in the 1920s.

WTG!

I did the same last year. After a hunt, I had emptied the trash section of the pouch on a table and was about to slide it into a trash can. About then, the wife (eagle eye) spotted a somewhat dirty washer, then her meat hooks grabbed it at a blink of an eye. While I was putting things away, she walked up and handed me the washer that she had cleaned some in the kitchen. If I did that - oh no, I'm not going there - anyway it was am open center token.

Now I give those washers a second look - wonder how many I may have thrown away in the past - may be none to a few or so, but..... don't know.

Tab..I LOLed at your kitchen joke.

Joke? It is a "Danger - Impact Area - Off Limits".
Tried washing my greasy hands in the kitchen once from turning wrenches in the garage. That was the last time - I have since plumbed in a nice utility sink in the garage. Hot & cold water, lot of hand goop, stack of lava soap, and a towel dispenser. Good lighting, and a padded carpet to stand on.

She can clean all the finds she want in the kitchen. I will not ever question it.
She keeps the coffee pot at the end of a counter, usually she get me my coffee, but if I must myself at times, I can now reach to the pot without actually walking into the kitchen. It's like that for a reason - her... There is just something about that kitchen - she acted like I destroyed it when I was just trying to wash my hands once.
