Got my detector fixed! Got me a killer saloon token!

[IAMZIM]

So, it turned out that I actually had TWO bad coils, so I ordered a new coil, went out to my old haunt, and WELLAH! Found a cool kid's spoon that says : "Little Red Riding Hood", a cool button that I think has the face of queen Victoria on it,(4th one I have found out there...) And a REALLY nice token. I had found a cache of this same token once, but they were all melted from being in a fire. One of my best ones, that was only slightly singed, I was able to sell for $100. This one, I know I can get at least $250 if not more, because that's what another guy was offered for his, that was in good shape like this one. One thing for sure is, I already paid for the new coil with this find!!!

Congratulations I think tokens are incredible to find especially saloon tokens and that one is a beauty. I love it.

I wish I had the heart to sell something I found maybe I’ll sell years from now who knows.

Outstanding digs...
The button with Queen Victoria on it...I can’t tell, but looks like maybe a punch out coin?

Very nice looking saloon token. Glad you will be able to pay for your new coil. I like finding tokens just as much or sometimes more than coins. They tell a nice piece of the story.

When I first found one, I thought that too, until I looked at the back!

They might have been silver plated at one time.

If the person on the button is indeed a queen, it looks more like Queen Elizabeth the first. The style of the clothes doesn't strike me as being from Victorian time,but rather Shakespearean.

Was that token from a Butte saloon?

I just guessed Victoria because I think it is Victorian age, You make a good point!

This token actually comes from a saloon in Burlington Mt, listed in the directory for Burlington.

Glad you got your machine fixed. Seems to be working just fine now. Congrats on the token and the rest of the nice finds.
