1893 Chicago Colombian World's Exposition Brass Token
I had to take Racer to the vet, so of course I knew the vet had always worked in old places. I quickly brought up metal detecting and I ended up getting permission to hunt his yard. When I got there I quickly found out about "invisible fences" I wasn't there long and I was going nuts with all the interference noise when I got a classic Large Copper hit, 88 on my AT Pro. When I pinpointed it, it said 2 inches, I figured it was a quarter. I got out my Garrett pinpointer and could barely hear it. I dug down with my index finger, like I do allot for coins I figure are next to the top. It was a little deeper then I thought, grabbed my Lesche and popped out what I thought was a big King George. It was down about 2 inches. I seen allot of stuff I didn't recognize and got real excited. Here are the pix followed by a link to what I found. I really like this one, I love tokens.
Enjoy the pix, HH

Here is the link, mine is the very first one. There is a very interesting read about this expo, and my token.
