Two let downs and almost a third.:clapping:

[Eddie in Poulsbo]

My buddy Lee and I went to a secret island to do some beach detecting. I'm not crazy about beach hunting, but it was a chance to get out and swing a coil. There was a slight rain coming down and after about an hour of nothing between us we decided to head back through this town and check out an old school that is now gone. We saw that there was some bulldozing being done on our way to the beach and when we stopped on the way back they were working!!!! Who the heck works on a Sat for crying out loud!!! Well, that was let down number two. We got back closer to home and it started to clear up some and we hit this place where some old housing use to be. A lot of construction going on there, but nobody working. Lots of dirt has been moved around and the pickings were pretty slim with all the metal crap all over the place from the demolition, but we didn't get skunked. Lee got a merc right off the bat and a couple of wheats and I got two wheats also dated 27 and 49. Then I got a fairly good signal and dug up this large disc. Wasn't sure what it was till I cleaned it a bit and saw that it was a 1922 N.W. Merchants Convention 20 bucks token. I think this event was held in Seattle WA, but I'm not sure. I tried to find out just what the token was for on the internet, but no such luck.

Hey tokendigger...................... can you help me out on this one? Anyway, it was a cool find and I really dig those old tokens. I'm posting a picture of what this token should look like that I got off of the internet. Wish mine was in a little better condition, but that's what happens when things like that have been in the ground for many years. Thanks for looking fellows and HH to everyone.

Hi Eddie-

Very cool find! Unfortunately, I am not familiar with it. I did a Google search and just came up with a bunch of eBay sites that have sold one or are currently selling one so I don't think it is rare but it is still neat. Your guess that it was held in Seattle is probably a good one. From my experience, tokens I detect are generally from or near the city I found them in so Seattle makes sense for this one. I belong to NTCA (National Token Collectors Assoc.) and they have a few WA state collectors listed in my membership directory. If you are interested, I can send you some contact info. They might be able to provide some background info on your token.

information on contacts would be great. Just send me a PM with any contacts that you might have and I'll see if anyone knows anymore about that token. Thanks for your help on this as I really appreciate it. That's what I love about this forum. If you have a question on anything there always seems to be someone who will step up and help you out. HH everyone.
