Old Token and first silver coin(s) of the year

[eagleforce]

Went out to a new location with pl8man this morning but I got a late start. I did pull a thin silver chain that is 8.5 grams. I also found a neat lookin token that looks old to me. It says Fremont and Wigwam , both sides look the same. I moved on to a different spot and pulled a bent silver ring and a junk ring to make total rings at 44 this year so far. I went out alone on an evening hunt and finally pulled some silver coins this year! They are a '62 quarter and a '46 dime which is the first year they produced them I believe. I also found a '40 wheat. Four silver items today.... isn't too bad a hunt for me. Thanks for lookin!

Thanks Mack! I thought it was the city of Fremont, but you are right , its the school in Sunnyvale. My mom actually graduated from there in the later 60's. She remembers the Wigwam but not the juke box. She thinks it was there before she was attending.

You might ask your mom about the story associated with the Wigwam. If she has forgotten it, you can contact the historian, Susan Rynearson, and ask her.
