City Park find was a "Sure Shot"

Took a trip to the local city park sunday morning, and found $1.07 in newer change including 7 nickles( I never find nickles, I think I'm finally learning what they sound like), 1 quarter, 1 dime, and the rest pennies. While searching the woodchips in the tot lot I got a good signal in the gold range (24VDI) and found a charm at 4" deep I have know idea what it's made of, ( gold I hope) it looks to be hand molded or very cheaply made. It has the word faith on it. It's definitely not lead, any ideas? I found some on google that were similar but not quite it. I also found what I believe to be coal mine scrip from Omar, WV. Any scrip experts out there? All in all it was a pretty good day I left knowing there was lots still to dig. Oh and I found a shot glass and two empty bottles of MD20/20 from the night before, on and around one of the picnic tables. I half expected to find the owners passed out near by... LOL!!

Nice token, funny how the triangle is off center.

Re: City Park find was a "Sure Shot"

I'm just guessing but maybe the triangle was cut by the merchant to protect against counterfeits or his way of marking cashed in tokens?
Nice finds, congrats

Great day, even found yourself a new change holder, sweet. Does the little charm open, or is it just a seam I'm seeing?

Nice finds!

Mad Dog! 2 5ths of Dog means either 2 chums drankin' or 1 dead wino. They weren't using the shot glass. Right out of the bottle, yep. You must be detecting in my old neighborhood. MD 20-20 was one of my fave poisons before hangin' up the spikes 2 decades ago.

As a fellow soldier in either Nam or Ft. Leonard Wood said, "Maan, you drink a 5th of Dog, you'd slap your mother.."

Re: City Park find was a "Sure Shot"

Nice finds. Your right about the "faith" charm. It does appear to be very cheaply made. The excess was not scraped off of the sides. A bottle of MD 20/20 brings back a lot of memories too.
