Indian. Token. And a huge skeleton key

[Turbo21]

Got out to one of the old parks today. And wasn't a bad morning

Snagged a few wheats right away. 40 and 51

Then got a crusty Indian. Which after I started cleaning is a 1909. Can't see if it is an S mint yet. Sitting in peroxide right now



Also got a really cool token dated 1918. Rally great shape for an old aluminum token





And depending if the Indian is an s or not. My best find was a HUGE iron skeleton key. Rang up at the high end of silver. Around 98 on my eurotek pro. Which has almost always been iron lol
It's sitting in the electrolysis tank right now. And I hope it cleans up but man is it crusty

Thanks don

It looks like my farmer got the short end of the stick and only got a half cent. Lol

Nice...those tokens are cool, yours is in really good shape considering. Did the Giant drop that key when Jack cut down his beanstalk?

The name of the dog on your token is "Prince".
He had an interesting history should you choose to do the research.

DANG NOW THATS A KEY .....

I am having a hard time running electrolysis on the key for some reason. I think it is the amount of corrosion on it. Just the alligator clip bubbles instead of the whole key. Gonna hit a small spot with a grinder tomorrow to get a better contact
