Didn't know what to make of this thing when I first dug it up at a park.
Was about 4 inches down, and rang up as a half dollar.
All I could see was one side was weirdly bumpy, the other side I saw a little eagle.
After cleaning it up, the bumpy side is actual the faces of presidents - They are pretty detailed, to the point where you can tell who they are, but it looked better wet. The other side has the presidents names, and the little eagle.

Says "Presidential Inauguration January 20th 1981" - So I guess that would be for the good old Gipper.

Also found a crusted watch, and a flattened chunk of copper with a design, I am mystified as to what it could have been.

That is one cool looking token congrats!!!!
 
That token is a keeper for sure, nice detail in it.
 
Never saw one like that here before. That is unique to say the least. Nice keeper right there. Congrats...jgas
 
Yeah, that is impressive to get that much detail into something so relatively small, glad I dug it up.
I saw a few on completed listings on ebay, looks like they are anything but valuable ,,, But a good find nonetheless - Just goes to show, you never know what the hell you might find.
