Silver UMax Hits Oldsmobile Token

[Hoosier]

Had a little time this afternoon and had to try out the new 10.5 coil on my Silver Umax. So i went through my yard with it. I have about 2.5 acres that has been hit I don't know how many times. My house was built in the 1920s so you don't know what your going to find. Hit some clad . I can't believe I've got any left in the ground Then I hit a traget that was quite loud and I'm thinking quarter . I pulled the plug out and the target wasn't in the plug so I started digging. I then put my reliable Cen Tech Pinpointer in the hole and located the target . My heart jumped when I first saw it I was thinking large cent. I rubbed the back side first and saw 1923 Oldsmobile. I decided not to rub it anymore and take it inside and was it off. After washing it I notice the front had Oldsmobile written on it. I was all excited thinking I had a 1923 Oldsmobile Token. But after a closer look on the back near the front wheel is a copyright date of 1968. Nice find but a little disappointing after getting the thing cleaned. Does anyone have any history on these tokens ??

I thought it might be some type of gas station token.

Here's one that's the same except different...

Jay,

I think it had to do something with the Franklin Mint also after doing a little research on it. Thanks for the information.

I did find a Chucky Cheese token a couple of weeks ago but I refuse to post any photos I'm taking the 10.5 coil out to some virgin hunting grounds in the morning. So far so good with the coil . I had to get a shovel out on a couple of hits as they were so deep in the ground. Not really sure why Tesoro don't make these coils anymore. Don't eat to much Turkey tomorrow! I don't have any dinners until 4pm so I will be out hunting!

Yummy. I love possum meat lasagna. Just make sure you skin it first before you cook it. I hate when those hairs are stuck in the cheese.
I'll bring some of my "snail sliders" to help wash it down.

I better keep an eye on you two clowns.

Have a great Thanksgiving guys.

Good luck on the hunt tomorrow Hoosier.
