Possum and I had a good day hanging out and did manage to find 2 Buffalos, 6 wheats and a mystery token. The token appears to have the initials “J R” stamped on one side and I see a black letter 2 on the other. Any guess on what kind of token it might be is appreciated. Thank guys IMG_0012.webpIMG_0012.webpIMG_0012.webp

Very interesting and unusual token find and those buffalos are getting harder and harder to find. Congrats on the saves.
 
Truth--there are indeed some "J. R." maverick tokens attributed to Mandeville, LA, but they are not like yours, so without some more and better information I wouldn't say yours is related to them. Might be, but...

I saw this one on EBay just like mine but it was hexagon.

It was found about 20 miles north of Mandeville La.

Here’s the one from EBay B1256AF7-72EB-43B4-B3AF-74921A630263.webp4B5BCF59-168A-4CBF-92E0-BD6CBECB69BB.webp

My J.R. Is smaller and off center, but the 2 1/2 is on the money.

Just wanted to say Hi and congrats on the token. I live in Laplace and would love to join ya"ll. I have a Nox 800 and just got a sand scoop... itching to use it.
