Found a coin purse with seated in it! Update on token.

Short and sweet, found a coin purse in a mucky swampy spot that had seated dimes , a barber , Indians, a token, and an Italian coin. Trying to post this with my phone , hope it works. ..I had time to research the token in the group this morning at the archives, here is what I found...1896 Directory A saloon run by Thomas Pooley in Burlington MT, I found this coin purse "in" Burlington, which no longer exists, other than a few stone foundations and some sagebrush....The Anaconda standard. (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970 Also here in the Anaconda standard August 31st, 1896, page 6, the saloon is listed in a political article. And, it seems later that Thomas Pooley moved his saloon to Butte, and got himself into quite a bit of trouble! Apparently he had a feud with his son-in-law, and ended up killing both his daughter and his son-in-law.... Daily inter mountain. (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901,The Butte inter mountain. (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, Lots of interesting history on him, makes the token ALOT more interesting now!

What a cool recovery with the coin pouch being intact as much as it is, what is the date range of the coinage? The token is neat, I looked for a reference on Pooley but came up blank. Congrats on the find it'll make an awesome display!

Found Info on the Pooley token! Added it above....
