Finally got out for a hour! Token, pinback, miners tag.

After taking the biggest part of the past few months off from metal detecting so that I could complete my backyard project, I finally got to go out and brave the heat for and hour or so Sunday evening.

Nothing real spectacular, but I did find a site that I will have to pay much detail too , as I was just quick scanning to see what all might be there. Some trash, some modern day clad, but some older stuff. The area dates to the early incorporation days of Mansfield (1870s-1880s) Here's some pics.

Overall finds.


Here is a neat pinback from Little Rock, Arkansas.



And a token from Hot Springs. I. Q. Zoo was a tourist attraction that had trained animals on display. The owners of the I. Q. Zoo also trained animals for movies. http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=2538



And here's an old miner's tag #61. This is the second one of these I have found. The last one was #80.

You said miners tag, and I could relate to that one! They're like finding tax tokens here. Lots of coal mines back in the day. I always like finding them, especially if they have the name of the company on them. That looks like it's gonna be a great site to hunt....heck...you've already found some nice keepers there.



Hope you're having a great day!
