"TEN IN TRADE" token

Yesterday I visited Kit Carson Park again here in Trinidad, Colorado. It was a slow day but intentional. I really prefer digging for the older stuff not getting much out of pocketing clads and Lincolns. Working hard for 5 hours all I got paid was 6 coins; 3 wheats, 2 Lincolns, 1 Nickel and this token, exactly the size of a dime. Yes, it's aggrevating not finding more but the xray of the grounds beneath the park is looking a tad better; I'm removing a lot of trash. The trash made it home safe but I lost a wheatie along the way. Oh well, maybe someone else has already found it.

Hello MD'ling Buddies!
Thanks for looking this direction!

Slabman!
I think this is some sort of store token. The number's on the backside and the token is plain and simple.

My wife and I moved to Colorado last year, leaving East Texas due to the extreme summers. SO, consequently I don't know much about Trinidad's local history, sorry. I was using my new Excelerator 12 inch round DD coil and was surprised it picked the token up so well at about 10 inches. I actually tried using my 14 inch Excelerator today in the same area and didn't have near the success due to trash I suppose.

Thanks again for all the interest!
