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.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.

More kool stuff MM! Can't wait for your next venture.
TICKS! u would bring that up. Now I itch!
MM, remember this... that big old tree in front of our WF facility...the one where we all have to evacuate to during fire alarms....well the ground under it is infested every Spring and Summer with Deer tick !!!
During evacs, I'm so glad I get to stand on the edge of the drive with that big red Evacuation notebook, the two way radio and the megaphone...and not under the tree with ya'll! LOL.
Sorry..thats mean, isn't it MM.

Very nice finds MM
What I hate about ticks is when I have to burn them with a match to get them off.

That works great Merf until you get them on your private parts.
