I went back to the same park that the forum hunt was held at. I went with 4 of the deaf guys from our club, and one other member. Didn't take long and I had an indian. then lots more keepers after that. all in one not too big area. Here are my totals. 4 wheats 35, 35, 17, 12,
2 IH's 90, 04, 1 merc 17, 1 silver war nickel 43P, 1 buff no date. also a neat old token with a groove in each side. Some were pretty deep. Also what I think is an old shaver handle that was over a foot deep! Wow what a day!

Good going ! The token is sometimes used for a locker coin, activating it. Some have 2 slots, some 1. In England I believe I read they are used to operate phones. I think you are right about the shaver handle. WTG, Steve in so az

it is an old phone token. This type was mainly used near Chicago. They started using them in the 1880's up till the mid 40's.
