Old Token and Some Coins

[Tylertut]

I'm very new to metal detecting and just did my first beach yesterday. It was a small swimming pond that had been dug to build an interstate. I didn't think it was too old but found a dateless buffalo nickel and a 5 peso mexican coin from 1980 which was weird because I live in a northeastern state.

I decided to stop at an extremely old fair grounds on the way home and found this game token which is my best find yet. I date it to before 1940 but I have no clue, so if anyone has an idea on how old it is that'd be great. The grounds are huge and I barely got anywhere in 3 hours due to so many old pull tabs but this was worth it.

The 5-peso coin features Quetzalcoatl (Quetzalcoatl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
The composition is Copper-Nickel and the mintage (for 1980) was nearly 270M.
My guess is the coin was a take home souvenir.

Don.....

As far as I can see that site doesn't have a date on the token. I don't think the 1994 is it. Any ideas?

As a coin collector the 5peso isn't anything special. I have tons of them. Apparently there are many Hispanic people in the area, maybe a kid playing with it on the beach lost it.

Congrats on the hunting finds, sounds like the fairgrounds will produce well just have to get through the junk.
