Today, Emmit (Ace 250), Joemoto (ATPro), Caprock (MXT), and myself(Etrac) got together for My bright idea to hit the local lake beach... Well that was a waste of time. So we headed over to a local park Joemoto and I have been finding old tokens. Running my favorite 2 tone ferous program with 1-1 thru 38 and 1-48 thru 50 x'ed out to take care of iron falsing. I rang up the first old coin of the day, a 1944 Wheat cent right at the surface.
After that everyone started scoring. I'll just say everyone found tokens today.
I found a 50 "In Trade" token. It came in at 12-48 at 8 to 10 inches. It has "50" on both sides with no other writing. *It appears to be one of the first payout tokens for stimulators or early slot machines.
I also found a very corroded Woodman of the World token. It came in at 9-42 at 5 to 6 inches. Can't read the state of origin on the bottom, but it has Commander Fraser's pic on one side and the stump on the other. Someone had made a necklace out of it which was common for these tokens.
I also found several memorials, 1 quarter, a piece of a toy airplane, a brass knob, a small older style lighter, and a button withe the word "NODAK" on it. I also had three nonmetal finds: two marbles and a seashell button. Joemoto ask me to program Emmit's 250 to find the marbles. Lol.
Needless to say after leaving the beach we had a great time and ready to go again! GH
