First hunt of the new year nets some goodies,,,,,

Mike from MI · Jan 4, 2020

Hunted a 1920 home site for about 3 hours. Best digs were 5 wheats (one was together with a zinc cent under a clothes line), a tool tag, an older no value token, and a Masonic one penny token from 1898. Glad to be digging in Michigan in January.

That one from Texas is a long way from home. Does that say PECO TX ? I've heard of Pecos. Cool stuff to find in January.

Indeed it does say Peco. No such place in Texas. I believe it was mis spelled (twice) on the token as happened often back then. Might be somewhat rare? Hoping to find more info but the searches have been tough.
