gotta love tokens " Updated with new pics"and link to cleaning results
Howdy all,
Went back to the spot that has kicked loose the 2 Buffalo's. No buffs today but got a few keepers. As per usual I got my share of clad and trash, then nailed the 43s war nickel followed by the 40s wheat. The next was the 1923 50 centimes chamber of commerce token from France. Was getting ready to call it quits when I got the last signal. Real faint at 6 inches, so I thought wheat on edge. I dug the plug and check the hole but the signal is gone. I figure maybe it was a false signal or bit of iron, but recheck anyway. So I put the plug back and check again, and bam it's sittin on the top. It had flipped out when I had turned the plug. It turned out to be a Tacoma, Wa. Transit token. The first I have ever found. Not sure if it is for the old trolley or not. I found the same one on-line and it was circa 1938. Detectingfreak is comin down tommorrow, and I am gonna set him loose on this place with his SE, and see what he can find. Also got the skeleton key which doesn't happen often. So not a bad day at all. Happy Holidays fellow T-Netters.

Update
I was going through the trash from todays hunt and got a surprise. I took a closer look at what I had originally thought was a rusty washer. It was not a washer at all but another war nickel with a degraded steel wheat stuck to it. I was able to clean the reverse of the nickel but not the obverse. Any ideas on how to clean the rust off?
