6th hunt update
Spent 2 hours at the token woods today. I tried to stay away but the nudie tokens were calling to me like a sweet Sirens song. I thought I wouldn't go back to these woods after my goal of 100 tokens was met, but I can't help but wonder "how many could really be there?". I found another 45 today, for a total of 173, and a nice mens silver band that fits perfect.

I had a hour or so to kill before picking up my daughter from school, and I've been looking at a small wooded area that is next to an old railway line that is now a prairie path for hikers/bikers. No sooner that I entered what seemed to be a path or deer run and starting getting hits every foot or so. They VDI'd at 71 on my DFX and were solid coin size signals. In 10 mins I had 9 tokens in the pouch and was so bewildered about what was happening I stopped to call Rootmaster about my new site. I told him that at this rate I'll probably bag at least 20 of these before I had to go. As It turned out 14 of them were the Wednesday Company type and 9 were the Heads I win, Tails you lose, nudie type tokens. Haven't been able to trace the source of the Wednesday Company tokens,..anybody seen these before?

2nd hunt UPDATE
Well after finding 23 tokens in the small woods i couldn't resist getting back to see just how many more could still be hiding there! Finds were a bit slower than yesterday at first. But then they started pouring in again
The 28 tokens found today were of the same variety as yesterdays 23...nudies and Wednesday Company. Also dug a cool little bell and a silver plate tablespoon. So in 2 days now, the token total is at 51. Maybe not banner material, but kinda cool.

3rd hunt UPDATE
Well after finding 51 tokens in two hunts at the small woods, I had to get back there to see if there were any left. Its been raining here overnight, so rather than wading through the wet vegetation in the woods, I figured I would start where I left off yesterday, a grassy area next to where I park. I immediately started getting hits and digging tokens. No clad, no junk, just tokens! What the heck is going on here?, they're everywhere I turn. When I knew I had about a dozen I decided to head off away from this area and see if I could find a place that was clean of tokens. So I head for the prairie path which starts at the edge of the woods. Walking behind the sign that shows the map of the path, I get another 71 VDI and dig not one but 10 more tokens. In all, for today's hour long hunt I came away with another 25 tokens. This brings my total to 76 tokens for 3 short hunts. I have no idea why there are so many here, but I know this area hasn't been detected in recent years. Most of them were around 4" deep today.

4th hunt UPDATE
Had a great day today! It started off by finding a first for me. I went with Rootmaster (aka #1 son) to an old farm site that I obtained permission to hunt that is less than a quarter mile down the road from the token woods. First signal and I popped up a 1924 Merc from only 3".
After a great hunt there I wanted to go to the token woods to see if RM and I could score another 24 tokens to make it an even 100 in 4 hunts. I figured with his help this time we should have no problem accomplishing this with only about a hour of daylight left. Within 5 mins I had my first 2 tokens and when I had my third pinpointed I figured I would let Rootmaster hear what they sounded like on his SE Pro before I dug it, so he could know what to listen for. Well he was up in the woods digging up a dog collar that he soon found out was connected to what was left of Fido. Man, I'm glad I missed that signal over the last 3 hunts. Well when he came over I told him to dig the token and he could have it. When he popped up a forth variety, (way to risque to post a pic of here) I promptly confiscated it, being a good Dad and all. The tokens finds were getting slimmer and I was wondering if we were going to get the quota of 24 that I was hoping for. Then I headed down the prairie path a bit and hit a nice 71 VDI on the DFX. Shabam! 16 tokens in one hole! Well I went back to the van to count up what we had. I had 21 in the pouch and RM had 0. I guess that proves that a Minelab will just not find junk, no matter how hard you try. So after a 4th hunt the woods have produced 97 tokens.

5th hunt UPDATE
I'm sure you guys are getting sick of hearing about the token woods , but not as sick as I am about digging so many of them. I only stopped there today to get another 3 so that I could say that I found an even 100 there. Well I had 3 in the first 3 minutes so I might as well see what I can pull again from here. I started walking down the trail where I found the 16 in one hole and about halfway there I hit a signal that I missed before. Turned out to be 20 tokens in one hole! I left with another 31 in the pouch to make a total of 128 now from the old token woods.
