Got another IHP (1897 - that makes 3 IHPs from this hunted out yard) from the stately yard that gave up the 1876-S seated quarter.
Got a new yard today that the guy said had already been hunted. The first good signal turned out to be an interesting experience with the Deus II. It was a scratchy but solid 91 in both directions. I took out a full shovel depth plug and the signal was still in the hole. In I go with the pinpointer and start pulling out square nails. I deepened the hole to 12" and checked it again with the Deus. Still a solid 91 but less scratchy now. Pulled out another nail and had no signal at the bottom center of the hole with the pinpointer. I scanned the sidewalls of the hole with the pointer and got a signal at about 10" deep. I pushed the trowel in the side above the signal and flipped some clods out of the side. The signal moved into the center of the hole. I grabbed a handful of dirt and dropped it outside the hole and out came a large copper. The nails had thrown the center of the signal off. I thought I had a large cent for a sec. They are not easy to find in Michigan, but my excitement was short lived as I picked up the piece and realized it was much to thin for a largie. It was caked with dirt and I could not make out much, but I could see that it was a token about the size of a half dollar. Here is what it turned out to be.
The back reads, "We will accept this on deposit for 50 cts if you open a new savings account of $5.00 or more leaving it in the bank 6 months and pay 4% interest on your savings."
Poorly worded, to say the least. I would never pay 4% interest on my savings. I think they mean THEY will pay YOU 4% interest on your savings.
I cannot find this token on the internet. Can any of you token guys help?
