Detector(s) used
Equinox 800
Went on a road trip a few days ago to CA Bay Area for my Baseball Tourney and brought my detector.

DAY 1:
Sports field that was on the same block as late 1800s houses. Figured there were houses there before.

Place was LOADED with clad, $4. Only was able to detect ONE ROW, overload of signals.
Found THREE clad quarters in One hole
Then TWO clad quarters in one hole

What are these?

DAY 2:
Found an empty lot.
Usally lots are hit and miss for me but my best ever finds and days come from lots, so it was worth a try.
First Signal BAM!
1947-d Washington Quarter :laughing7: Sometimes the first find is the best---Here's the rest

Great finds - congrats !

Your "Token" with the spokes were really popular at Fairs and Carnivals in the 1940's to the 1960's era.
You just put a coin in the Metal Stamping Machine and turn the dial to the letter or number you wanted.
People put their name, girlfriend's name, date etc. on them.
I've found around a dozen of them - one has "Bob & Gloria - 1947" on it.
Here's a a few photo's of the machines - now these machines are collectors items.
