What an epic hunt Saturday. We spent a good six hours hunting and this was the most epic unsuspected find. I knew I had a token in the field, but had no idea how rare it would be until I got home and started doing some research.
99 or less known to exist!! Amazing!!
This link provides a little...
Got out for half a day hunting around an old homesite that had a cellar and well. I started hunting around the rocks that supported the home. I got a good signal and dug a token with in the first 10 minutes. About a hour later after several bullets and a few mason jar tops. I stumbled across...
This was a hunt 1 month ago. 2 bucket list day for me. Same spot where I got the buttons on my previous post. This has just been an amazing spot. I am quite proud as I have taught myself to dig in heavy iron with my Equinox 800. I went to a silversmith to see if I can get the wings unfolded. She...
We’re supposed to get rain and colder temps this weekend here in Ohio. So, I hit the field again today and my front yard yesterday evening.
I found 7 wheaties in my yard last night. Three were in the same hole and two of them were stuck together (pic attached). 😳
Then, today I found a 1939...
Dug and posted this a couple of weeks ago on the 'what is it' forum. Hoping to get a little more love here. Diameter 25.5mm, slightly larger than a quarter. Probably made of aluminum, very light. I've be unable to determine what type of writing or script it is. There's nothing on the back. It...
Dug this token last week on the edge of a saltwater beach. Had never heard the term drayage previously but learned some info while researching it. Unable to find any info about the company. Diameter is 35mm. Probably made of copper. I'm hoping someone on the forum may have a book with this token...
This coin appears to be very old, it is very thin and uneven.
The image is almost cartoon like which is weird to me...
I can only make out some of the letters or symbols on it so I am not going to write them out as it would just be a string of random letters in not particular order.
Has...
I found what I believe to be a token (could be a coin but I doubt it) in Luxembourg.
The area I found it in dates back to medieval times but has everything in between.
It measures around 2 cm in diameter.
I think it might be german given how similar the 20 looks compared to other german coins...
Howdy, I found this little thing all bent up at an 1870s house. It reads "5 Burnett" on one side and the back is blank. A little bit of searching on google and a token website produced nothing but I think one of you guys will probably recognize it. Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated!
Hi , I am new here, this is my first post, sorry if there are any mistakes.
I found this token 3 days ago while digging along a river shore near Montreal.
30 feet further along the shore from this find there was a lot of broken pottery/ bones/ glass and rusted metal. I will be going back to the...
I went back to the farm site in the woods where I found the token last week. I found another token about 30 feet away from where I found the other one. This One is a Bull Durham tobacco token. I also found a very old looking brass button which I don't know anything of the age. The UMC Co...
I found this German coin/token metal detecting. I would like to know a date from it. I’m assuming it came back from WW2 maybe, not sure looking for help.
It’s been five years since I’ve last posted
and boy do I have a lot of catching up to do.
Quite recently, About three weeks ago I was detecting parking strips
in a somewhat old area of Austin during late afternoon. I was approached
by guy that wanted me to come and see what I could find in...
For only being my second hunt of the year, I'm pretty happy with the results. Would have liked some older silver, but I don't mind ol' Rosie. Also, I have cleaned up these finds since these photos were taken, just too lazy to take more pictures.
Hello treasure hunters, first time posting here.
I really need help to identify this token, it looks like indian or spartan-like head profile with seven stars around it. First time i see that kind of head profile on finds in Eastern Europe.
I was at the railway tracks with my new bounty hunter land ranger pro and searched where I found a 1930-40 baby carriage wheel at the tracks. I got a quarter signal. I pulled out this flat circle that I thought was trash in till I took a closer look. I saw faint words on it so I kept it and...
Hello my friends . Hope everyone had a bless day . I guess you could say this is just a game on my part . I KNOW WHAT IT IS ! I just want to see how many number of people guess it right . Then I will take off the paper I put on the front and let everyone know . Hope no one minds me doing this...
:BangHead:This was found at the Averasboro Battlefield here in NC YEARS ago . It was private land back then , but know is state owned . It has R.R. Faison's on it . Has some detail on it also . As far as the back , well can't really see anything . Anybody got a clue ?
Went to the train tracks today. Found a little grove of trees by an older house. Fist beep was super loud... up came this neat old wheel! Is it an old pram wheel? How old do ya think it is? There was tons of chunks of iron everywhere so I quit. But next year I'll go back with a good detector and...
I found this token while metal detecting near a store's parking lot. There was an old farm from the 1800's there before the store was built. Anone out there able to tell me what it is for sure and how old it might be?
i have clue what this coin is, it was a quarter signal at a site that ranges from late 1700s to 1900s. It appears to be a person standing upright looking to the left on one side and all i can make on the back is seaweed?? any help would b great!!
I thought I'd share some items found today and last week. These were all recovered from a curb strip next to an old school I like to hunt. The Newfoundland 20 cent piece ( .925 ) is definitely something I didn't expect to dig! It didn't even ring up or sound like you would expect a larger silver...
I've found this "presidential campaign token", or at least that's what I've been calling it. Not sure who is pictured on it or the time period. The 50 cent piece is shown for size comparison. Any ideas?
OK, I am hoping someone can help me figure out what this is... It is made from aluminum and measures 1 5/16" across and has no makers marks on the back. It appears to have had something attached to it right across the middle and I was thinking a Pin like to attach it to your lapel, but that is...
I was hunting some old farm land yesterday and hit a signal which I thought for sure was a quarter but out popped this guy. I must say that at first glance in the dirt, I really thought I had found a gold coin.. probably my biggest burn to date. :laughing7:
These were handed out at SHELL...

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how many of these were minted?
I just bought one and wanted to find out more about it.
Thanks!
I found this old aluminum 5 cent drug store token yesterday and am wondering where I might be able to find more information on it. It's from a drug store in Richton Mississippi and was valued at 5 cents, the name of the drug store was either Walkers or Walters as I have been unable to clean it...
"The Don't Worry Club" Token
I found a intresting token today. I provided pictures for those interested. Of particular interest is the use of the Swastika as a symbol for good luck and the business reference "SOLARINE Metal Polish" on the reverse. If anyone has any info, I'd welcome the...
Wow--I didn't know this thread existed until just now! I'm hoping someone can tell me something about this old store token. So far, no one I have talked to knows anything about it. Token appears to be thin copper. Thanks!
Detectorist Day Before Christmas: Dog Tax Tag, Token, and V Nickel Fun
The day before Christmas and all through the park, not a creature was stirring, except…….an old fart.
With a detector in hand and hope in his mind, the detectorist had visions of uncovering a find.
The children emerged...
