I had finally downloaded the new 2.0 Minelab for the Nox and had to get out and at least try it out. Only had about 30 minutes or so and had the 6" coil on. So I hit a trashy area hoping for a decent coin. managed two memorials and some odds and ends trash. One of the first targets was this thing that I first thought was just a dog tag/license/or a rabies tag. It was covered in rusty type corrosion that took some time to get semi clean enough to realize that it was in fact, a token from my home town. I had never heard of a Clift Bakery and neither has any other people (elderly) that I have asked. This was a very small town not to know anything about it. I have someone checking it out, so this could be considered a rare token as there has to have been a very small amount of them back then. I almost threw this into the trash bucket. Now know that it was made prior to 1922 and appears to actually be 3 cents and not 5 cents as first thought. the bakery was sold to the Burks in 1922
