Dave,

welcome to the board; nice token, did you dig it?

have a good un......
Thanks for the welcome . Yepper, it was a good repeatable tone dug at about 4 inches. It was found in an old park in Kerrville. I was digging everything in this one area due to finding a bunch of square nails and a few old bullets near this old tree swinging my DFX with the 5.3 coil. The oldest coins I have dug in that area are from the 1940's. I found it this past summer and a buddy of mine suggested I post it up here to see if you guys could help with the research.

Thanks Leon, I appreciate the kudos. I am actually in touch with a guy who believes that this may be a rare and previously unreported saloon token. He has given me some tips on finding more information about the proprietor and suggested that this item is pre-prohibition era type. Will keep you all posted.

I am not positive Burdie but it hit on my DFX vdi in the brass range for a target this size.
