Found a new foundation on the map that my father and I decided to investigate, after loads of bullets and bullet casings finally hit a signal that I thought was a dime. I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled this token out of the ground. Ive seen a few from other people, but this one was finally mine. F42706DD-8E73-4C68-B0DA-1E9712CDF5AF.webp

Welcome to Treasure Net !
An interesting and educational find.
[FONT=&quot]"Colorado used sales-tax tokens from Sept. 1, 1935,to Feb. 28, 1945. The 2-mill tokens were used when Colorado established a sales tax of 2 percent and had to figure out how that would be paid. Sales of 5 cents or less had no tax, 6 to 14 cents had one token, 15 to 24 cents two tokens, etc. Sales tax on 45 to 50 cents was a penny. The tokens were first issued in aluminum and later in plastic."
