Just got in

Went to the parking lot of a local beach. Same as the other night. I have to say I don't have many daylight hours to look and the new mxs's back light has been awsome. Found my first big silver( barely)! And a bunch of clad. Also found a 1/4 oz 7 g scale weight? Which seemed kinda strange, a nyc subway token( which is also strange for the location), and a 1970 foreign coin that rang like a nickel.
Oh. And a 1923 wheatie lol.

Thanks for the look

That NYC Transit token is the original small token

From 1953 -1966 15 cents, (48 million)
From 1966 -1970 20 cents
There were 6 more changes in the design and size.
The last token made was called the Five Boroughs Pentagon and it cost $1.50. It was a little smaller than a quarter and made of brass.
(60 million minted)
The token was replaced by the Metro Card in April, 2003.
Of all the tokens issued, you found the coolest.
Congrats

Nice 1969 Kennedy 40%er!
That 1/4 oz lead square is a tire weight. I recall finding a few on the side of the highway along with other kinds of tire weights.
The Y NYC subway token you found is the kind used from 1953-1980, it's very hard to tell what year of issue it is exactly, but it looks like one of the smaller Y variants issued from 1953-1966. They would make the Y bigger for the later generation tokens.
Subway tokens rocked, so much easier than our metro card system nowadays, in my opinion anyway.
