A few finds today and maybe some help :)

[Diggin in GA.]

I got out for a little while today to an old "dumping place"? that I found a few years ago. I had a hard time with all the old cans and trash but did manage to find a few things. I picked up these two old knives in really bad shape and some kind of New Orleans token. It is dated 1985 and on the front it says "myths and legends" and has a picture of a dragon. All I can make out on the back is "token New Orleans" Does anyone know anything about this token? And what would be the best way to get the rest of the gunk off of it?

Imagine that, a 24 year old mardi gras token buried in the mountains of north east Georgia. Ain't it funny how the world works.
