I went to a new wooded area where I thought there would be a good chance of finding cool stuff. An hour and a half led to a 1911 Wheatie, 1906 Barber Dime and a Kennywood Park perverted Good Luck token (Have Cock Will F*ck) haha. I also found 32 cents in clad.

Nice finds on a chilly February morning. Congrats! :icon_thumleft:
 
Nice finds. Wonder where the token would trace back to.
 
Hahaha. Good stuff. Love the dedication. Congrats.

My dad said there used to be a machine where you could make your own good luck token at Kennywood Park. It's an amusement park near Pittsburgh.
 
Congratualtions on the nice finds! :occasion14:
 
Sweet hunt. You weren't lying about being a magnet for the barber dime!

I found one of those tokens too.....just with a different message, lol.
 
Nice hunt and great Barber dime. I found 2 of those amusement machine tokens last year around the Burgh. Congrats!!
 
Nice hunt, congratulations on the dime!:icon_thumright::icon_thumright:

What did yours say? Haha
 
Here's a pic of one of the types of machine that made that piece. Put in a quarter, dial up each letter or number that you want, pull the print lever, then go to the next letter. When done, pull the eject lever. No backspacing.
