Fathers Day weekend hunt part two

[Larry (IL)]

Strange hunt but productive. We hunted a small front yard today for a couple of hours with targets everywhere, mostly wheat cents........ but no silver coins

I dug 15 wheats and a silver medallion that says I am a Protestant so I guess I can say that I was not silver skunked....... Most of the wheats were in the 40's, one 1950 and the oldest is 1917. This was a good day for tokens too, a good for 5 cents off at the Red Ace Tavern, Farmington, IL and a Hy Vis Q motor oil advertising token with the different oils you should use depending on your mileage, on the back. There is a blank copper token that is unreadable and maybe a tool marker with A.F. 16 on it... The marble is smaller than a regular marble, maybe one of you marble guys can tell me what that is....... game piece maybe?

The medallion and tokens are cool. Would fit very nice in a collection. Nice!

The Red Ace Tavern token is pretty rare I believe. I can't find any info on it anywhere not even on Richards Token Database.

It is strange that with all the signals and wheaties you never found silver. If it was hunted before they surely only wanted the silver. Neil found one of those Hy Vis tokens before too. I like the tokens.
