What do you do when you get a Bacchus token and an AA 1 month sobriety chip....hmmmm. I guess the shield pendant with "God and Family" on it makes it lean a bit more to the sober side. The Bacchus token says "Bacchus, 1968, Mardi Gras, New Orleans on one side, and River of the World, 1984 on the other. Don't know why there are two different dates. About $6.30 in clad, including my first $1 coin. Had a good time. Hope your weekend is going well.

HH!

Nice hunt and finds Beep! I won an AA token very similar to yours in a contest, just received it Friday. I really like tokens. HH, Mike
 

Beep,
As usual you've got a great bunch of finds. You put yourself in some good potential sites that pay off.
It takes alot of patience and work to dig up that much clad and novelty items and such. Thanks for sharing it with us.

your clads are about bad as mind ::) [mine is worst] soil down here just about eat the coins have way through still finds some good every now then :o
 

Beep,

Nice assortment of finds.

That's a Mardi Gras doubloon. The reason for the 2 dates..1968 is when Bacchus was formed, the date on the other side would be the date of the years's parade...1984 featured the World's Fair in NOLA.

I posted the like of yours, now on page 3 "Fat Tuesday's Finds".

You can read the history of doubloons here: http://www.mardigrasdigest.com/html/history_of/history of doubloons.htm

Congratulations on your first dollar coin. Always nice to get those. Don't come up very often. I think I have only found 1 Sac and one Susan.
