I swung by the CW Camp site that I have been detecting since march for a quick outing. I grabbed another thimble similar to the one I posted about a month ago. This one's incription says "Forget me not".

I also picked up some more horse tack, an 1893 Indian Head and a token like none that I have ever seen before. On side has FPCO and the other has S&A and the number three.

Does anyone have a clue as to what this octagonal token could be?

Man Neil that CW site has really produced for you these last couple of months. Can't help with a token ID, but wish you the best of luck in finding the id.
 
I'm betting the token is some sort of Railroad tag...just a guess.
 
I was guessing a railroad tag as well. If you haven't already, go in that research direction..
 
The only thing I found for S&A is the Savannah & Atlanta Railroad.
 
Nice finds Neil!
 
I think it may be a token.

Could it be an EPCO cigar token?

While it is crude, it does have the setup of a Currency token, this is just a WAG, but it seems to make a little sense to me. Here is a picture of another currency token to see the layout.

looks like S 8 4 or S 8 A with a 3 under it to me .

Yea, it looks like they may have been trying to punch a poor mans " & " by using an 8 and adding the little leg thingy :wink:
