Really Cool Token / Charm

[secondstar]

I went out for a quick hunt this morning at a spot that has been hit pretty hard. I was working very slowly, listening for clean sounding targets. I got a solid 19 on the Equinox in a field that has produced plenty of IHPs so that’s what I thought that I had found . Instead, I ended up with this little beauty.





It appears to be a token of some sort, not sure if it’s new or old, but it sure is nice!

Without the logo of the HKJC on the token

, I have my doubts it's from the club.
