Trade token, rings and lock found at old school site.

[metalworker]

So me and my son went to a old hunted out school site that the city gave us permission to do. I found that the site dates back to 1825 the lot has seen several schools built and torn down with the last being built in the 30s. It has been hunted to death over the years and the finds are rare but we were able to get permission for the adjacent land which is where the finds came from. If you have any info on the trade token or the gumball looking ring with a blue stone let me know, it looks like it says ingkuns inside and rang up on safari and pro as gold but its thin was deep and looks cheaply made. The token was 10 inches deep but is as big as a silver dollar. Someone said it may be worth something so just picking your brains.

The Strome token is from New Carlisle, OH. William O. Strome had a general store there and used several denominations of Ingle System scrip (tokens).

Thanks all for the help, I did indeed find in New Carlisle and was able to trace it to William Oscar Strome of New Carlisle 1871-1956. Dirt fishing and knowledge fishing, gotta love the hobby. Still interested in any info on the little ring. Draws a blank on my search engine. Even help identifying the stone would help. Thanks again everyone.
