Louisiana Luxury Tax token & Possible Trade Weight?
Well Folks, I finally finished up the last corner of the pasture I was gridding off. No darn coins, but I did find this token today. What were these used for?
I also found a small square that I'm hoping is another apothecary / coin weight like the other one I found.
Here is my last one:

Also two informative links on these coin weights provided by PBK and Don in SJ:
http://www.colchestertreasurehunting.co.uk/C/coinweights.htm
http://www.ourpasthistory.com/metal/trade-weights
What do you think? It is the same metal material as my last one too.
I did a first grid on all three pastures, and have pounded the yard pretty good now. My only option now is to venture out into the woods with the ticks, snakes, and poison ivy. NOT my favorite type of MDing.
Here's my finds:
*Louisiana Luxury Tax token (aluminum)
Any idea of the age?
*3-ringer bullet
*Apothecary / Coin weight ? (hopefully)
*Round brass beveled piece. No markings on it. No idea what it is?
*Railroad sign reflector. My 2nd one.
*Asst's others.
Thanks for looking.
