Found an interesting token on the beach today

[Florida Sand Digger]

I had a long weekend of hunting. I actually took off work on Friday to search a new beach. I learned that the fishing pier was originally at a different location than where it is now. So I drove by there on Wednesday and found the location and also saw that just a short way north was a renurishment project coming right at it. It was already getting dark so I stopped by again on Thursday and they were a lot closer than the day before. So I decided to take the day off a hunt it on Friday, cause in a very short time this beach would be under 10 feet of sand. I probably should have gone to work. After 2 hours of hunting I only recovered 4 targets, a rock with wire mesh in it, 2 fish hooks and a zinc penny.

any way the total for the weekend was 3 silver earrings, about $15 in clad, and a very interesting token. it is a TOFA token which means "Token of Appreciation" it has a serial number and a website www.tofa.us where you can look to see if it is registered. I checked and it was not registered yet, but it is now. The serial no is 5638.

I went to that site (tofa.us) and typed in the tracking number 1023 (hard to read the first number on your token) but it said it wasn't registered.

Nice find. It reminds me of a geocoin, as used in geocaching. It's also a trackable item and there's thousands of them hidden in caches all around the world. Each person who finds it can move it to a new cache, and register the movement on www.geocaching.com Info at http://www.geocaching.com/track/geocoin.aspx I'm on 86 geocaches! HH OD

Some times finds like this are more interesting than finding a handful of clad. Congrats!
