Union Saloon Token and... a

[Underwonder]

I went back to the lovely seated liberty dime site and up turned the switch to an oil lamp (I think), a dog tag, a hunk of lead, a flat button (civilian), and what I thought was a coin....but turns out to be a saloon token Union 1863 or 1865? Charnley, Orange St., Providence, RI. I found info. about it posted on the Friendly metaldetectingforum by Dsm_mechva on 4-4-16 so I hope it is OK to post it here with credit to the submitter of it. I continue to be blessed with interesting finds!

You and that old Whites XLT are tearing into some very cool old history out east! Very nice flat button and that old saloon token is just the BOMB! Keep it up. Them XLT's are great machines!

Thanks, Kurios 1...Wait! I just "got" your name...[emoji6]. I only had about an hour and have been trying new settings so I tried just the coin setting, increased target sound, decreased threshold, and set pro option of ? forgot what it is called but audio differentiation...so I did not get many hits...and still got aluminum...but managed to find button and token so am quite happy. Wish I could set it to find gold for a friend though.

Congrats on another good hunt. I like that token, and your piece that you have pictured does seem to be the top of an oil lamp.
