Token Honey Hole

[PatrickD]

Hi Everyone,

OK, I was commenting a few weeks back to a detectorist friend about not finding many tokens. He seems to find them all the time. Well, today, I found a bunch around the base of a tree stump across from my parent's house in Weatherford Texas. I found two about a week ago and the rest today. Most were clumped around the base of a tree stump.

(And, no, I didn't buy these. LOL)

Excellent token spill, that bi-metallic one is very cool. The Peso is a nice big bit of silver, nice finds and thanks for sharing!

Silver is always nice. Personally, I like the cracker jack one.

Way to go! Very inspiring, as Weatherford's a really neat place historically in our area. I can't wait to hit on something like one of those!

Nice Louisiana token, all the ones I dig are completely roached

 

[PatrickD]

They were all down about two inches. I think I scraped up the Cracker Jack one digging them out.
