Elks Home token!

[diggingthe1]

I should be out detecting more, I sure love it. Went to one of my go to spots, and sticking out of the ground where I have swung many times was this Elks coin. I’m not sure what Elks Home means and thought maybe it is what the bar was called but I can’t track it down. It wasn’t in the local Colorado Book. Any information on it is definitely welcome. Sure is good to find something from the hometown. I’ll list it on tokencatalog ASAP! Happy Hunting!

Nice!!! Congrats!!!

Thanks RJ and Professor!
Thanks creskol, I was trying to find a reference to the bar being called “ Elks Home” but I think all the Elk bars might be named that. I know a few of the members up the street at the lodge. It is a beautiful building and a highlight of our small town. It’s nice to find something local!
