Headed out to a place that I have been eyeballing for some time. It's a common place for the homeless and druggies to hang out in warmer temperatures. I saw the usual syringes, broken liquor bottles and trash. On the plus side, a lot of people also hung-out in these same places many years ago. Here is my take for today, after a couple of hours.
I was quite surprised to get such a variety of different tokens today. All but one are new to me and welcomed to my growing token collection. Dang.....another SEX token.
I also dug up this old condom container, at about 8 inches. This find hopefully helps to date this area, and maybe some other oldies will show up at a later date. These were produced somewhere between the first world war and the early 1930's. They are valued today at about $50.00 US. Below is a link in case you want some more information.

I also eyeballed these bottles and one was totally intact, the other one wasn't. The one on the left has those words inscribed on the bottle. I have no idea what was sold in that bottle at one time.
And below is what appears to be one half of an old heart locket which was gold plated at one time. Not a bad day in my books.
