Found the money tree! *up close token pic*

[becky21b]

Hello everyone, got up early this morning. Went to the park that I've been going to for a couple weeks now, I decided to go to the other side, (where all the Hobo's hang out) but I dont care, I have my knife and digging tool I can use to hurt someone if they try anything So I go over by this younger tree in the middle of an open area and I get tons of hits, so I start looking around and find pennies (40 in total) all over in the grass, so I collected them, some were in the ground and some right there on top. also found a quarter, 2 dimes, and 3 knickles in the same area. ALSO, I found my first TOKEN!! its nothing special, its about the size of a dime, gold in color, its from Indianopolis Indiana and it is a Restroom Token, its pretty neat. AND I found my First piece of Silver, thought it was just a bent peice of metal with flowers on it so I put in the pouch, when I got home I saw 925 on the inside, Looks like it was a ring of some sort. Cool though. Anyway I might go out again after some lunch, its only 1:00....

Sorry the pics arent that great, I saw just using my phone...

Very interesting finds there Becky!
I really like the pierced tea spoon handle?
or the "bent piece of metal with flowers on it".

Very nice finds~! Any chance of getting a better pic of the 'bent piece of metal with flowers on it?' Funny how that token made it from Indiana to California!

Up here in Portland those tokens are used by Wendy's for customers to access the toilets. Keeps the homeless out.

well I wouldnt say that it was a teaspoon handle only because it is only about an inch long, and its very bendable if I bend it again it will most likely snap. and its curved at both ends like a ring of sort. I will post closer pics later.

I hear what you're saying, in the photograph you posted I could see that it was laying across two of your fingers and it looked like the shaft of a teaspoon.
If you were to post clearer pictures I'm sure that it could be identified for you.

Happy Hunting Becky!
