Another metal detecting outing to Phoenix on Tuesday and had some nice finds again. An Oklahoma tax token in pretty rough shape circa 1930's, an old cigarette token for 2 packs of cigarettes that has a piece cut off it also circa 1930's, 3 old wheat pennies, a 1 yuan coin from Taiwan, 1905s Barber dime, 1940d Mercury dime, a small pin that represents some organization, and a pile of clad coins. The old cigarette token really cleaned up nice and I wish it would not have been cut a long time ago. It would have been a nice keeper if it was complete. The Oklahoma token is unusual as it is marked for old age assistance. Seems an odd place for a Taiwan coin and an Oklahoma tax token in a Phoenix park. 2 of the Wheats were 1913s and 1929s. Happy hunting and good luck MDing.

The Taiwan coin has reeded edges and I thought they only used them on precious metals. It cleaned up nice with lemon juice and a fine brass brush. The cigarette token was a mess before it was cleaned too.

NICE mix of silver coins, clad, tokens, a foreign coin and even a "pin" -- GOOD Job and being retired like myself it is GREAT just being outdoors "looking" for these little treasures -- Just don't get any better than that, my friend. GOOD LUCK & Happy Hunting to ALL. BILL

I was all hung up on the Lost Dutchman and gold prospecting for the first several years out here then I gave that up for a lost cause, Tommy.

Thanks, Chizzy. I try to do my research on the places I hunt. I use the old aerial maps and county assessors info to find out as much as I can.
