WHOOOHOOO Huge silver!!!

Well, that's what run through my mind when I first saw it anyway.

I went to a place I call the hills for a short hunt before dinner last night. I was digging the normal clad and some trash when all of the sudden BAM!!! I got a very strong +89, it was bouncing between quarter and half, man I was excited to dig this one. I thought for sure it was going to be something great.

I opened up the hole and saw the edge of what I thought was a silver half or dollar, my heart skipped a beat. I pulled it out and it ended up being some sort of 10 cent aluminum token for Kar-Kwik. Man was I bummed out! Oh well, a find is a find.

I also took Dylan with me, he sure loves finding stuff and he's getting better at it all the time. Dylan found some clad and a wallet some kid lost. After we got home and had dinner we looked up the kids number in the phone book using his name and address off the learners permit in the wallet. We met the kids mother to return the wallet and she insisted, without exception that Dylan accept the reward of $10.00 she wanted to give him. She said it would have cost them nearly $100.00 and a ton of running around to replace all the documents in there so she really wanted to do it. We tried to deny the reward several times but she was very persistant, it made Dylan's day to do a good deed and get rewarded for it.

I also wanted to thank everyone again that was involved in the donation of the Ace 250 for Dylan.

Thanks everyone!

Hey UTcoinshooteR,

I also think there's a bunch of em out there. I remember using these things back in the day. There was the big wooden nickels from Simpson's as well, they looked just like a buffalo nickel but the size of a silver dollar. If I remember right both places gave one of these out for every 5 gallons of gas purchased or something like that.
