You had a great productive day!! Congrats on some nice saves! :occasion14:
 

His last name is obviously Greek, so I'd expect his first name was Demitri or Demitris or Demitrias, or similar.
You may wish to search under those names.

Great hunt mate. Lots of keepers there. Way to go!:headbang:
 

Good stuff man, love the token
 

I can see you are still hitting it hard Tommy. Congrats on all those finds. That token is sweet, rather dig them than clad. Keep it up I feel you are due for a big silver any day now,
 

Love the token. He must have had a small business in Ann Arbor Tommy. I think you have enough information to research it. Go to your local library and see if they have an Ann Arbor section. This one would be worth investigating this winter.

Nice bunch of finds.
 

tokens are always cool, so many kinds of them. they are like a cracker jacks prize to me, well like when I was a kid. congrats on your finds
 

Another source of information could come from his heirs and friends.
A list of those people (and some contact information) can usually be found through the cemetary management company.

Nice hunt Tommy. Always like to see the tokens.
 

Nice finds Tommy! Looks like some neat things beyond the silver and token and Mackaydon and Scuba have some leads. Let us know what you find on that.
 

I suspect Dan is a nickname. Dyonesus Raftopulos is listed from 1921-25 as a restaurant at 103 E. Ann. In 1927 his restaurant is at 119 E. Ann and in 1931 he's listed as a billiard hall at 119 E. Ann.
 

Never seen a mystery token silver wheat cent before. Must be unique!
 

Great selection of finds. I love them all.
