Silver Trifecta and token found at Omaha home

[Diggitdaddy]

Hello all, I dont usually post here unless its something special, but this qualifies in my book lol. After 9 years in the hobby, I finally dug a silver find from one hole...quarter, dime and nickel. A pocket spill ! And a streetcar token from days gone by in Omaha, dates around 1950. Found in a lawn of a 1920s period home...what a great hobby !

Hey ajaj, here is the reverse side. It says "One Fare For Child 5 to 12 years."

Sounds like a good trip, I like the token a lot - despite its rather mundane original use.

Its the first old token have dug in Omaha, it was toasty had to clean it up a bit and when the lettering appeared...another chance to learn Omaha history. Thats the great thing about this hobby, just becoming acquainted with local history. I see you are a new member JenLightly, welcome to the club, am waiting to read about your latest finds Dave
