Boy that got me excited for a second. :BangHead: One of these days Alice.. To the moon. Lol, anyway also found a DuPage county centennial token 1839-1939. So I made a couple firsts today pesos and token. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

I must say the token was an ironic find seeing as I found it with a metal detector and DuPage county Il. banded detecting on there property back in the 1970s. Also just to set the record straight i didn't even find it in DuPage county.

I like the Boy Scout Items. The necktie slide with the people on it is an older one.

Nice Merc and finds! Congrats!

You think the pesos are exciting wait till the edge of a gold colored coin peaks out at you from the ground, then turns into a 10 cent Euro, right before your eyes.
