More tokens.

Did a bit of hunting late last nite. Found two 1935 washington state tax tokens stuck together about 4 inches down. Both in great shape. They are uncleaned in the pics. Thats 3 W.T.T. total this year. And A 1959 Ford Advertising Token. I have never seen or heard of these before. I thought it was really neat. And that is why I really like this hobby.
Also, if I didnt post it already. Also found a Saloon Token dating from 1900. As well as a 1879 Silver Plated spoon. I checked its hallmarks, and was able to find an actual ad clipping from the 1800s online of the exact spoon. I know, its a spoon. I almost threw it out. But, something about it made me think, hmmm...
Well, thats it.
No silver coins this week. Plenty of wheaties. But no silver. But, there is next week. And I think the places we scouted out have excellent potential for some great finds.

YEAH DUDE! haha. Actually, the ford token was kind of a neat find. you know i like tokens. and I have never seen nor heard of this one. I located the old cloths line foundation at my friends house. And just hunted in that spot with the little time I had. And thats what I found...of interest anyway. lots of clad, and other weirdness. But hey. gimmme a call man. lets get out there and do some diggin. Gonna meet up with a guy off I Dig History here soon. Hes new at it. So thought it would be cool to go hunt with him.
