I disagree. Those tokens I would not put in the trash category. Some of em are valuable. Plus ya got some other neat finds.

LOL, most were dug with "trashy" broken signals... hence, trash finds. One of the many reasons why I dig all signals. Here's the tokens:

Thanks for posting the great pictures of the tokens. The Siegrist piece was previously unknown to me. Siegrist had his saloon in Jackson from 1891 to 1909. This would undoubtedly be one of the earliest issues.

I can't really read the first initial on the other token, but H.E. Dittmar had a saloon in Chicago circa 1911.

Thanks for the cool website! I love adding research sites to my already long list

There is nothing on the backside of the Siegrist token, in case you were wondering. The Ditimar is corroded, I can't tell if there is an H on it or not. I haven't cleaned them beyond a little warm water and some soap. Is there anything I should do to keep them from corroding away?

These are the only two tokens I have ever found, aside from the usual Chuck E Cheese types.
