1st 2016 hunt - Silver, Gold, and a mystery item!

[Jaichim24]

***UPDATE - video of hunt now posted!




I went out to a ball field that has treated me very well the previous two trips out to it this past weekend. My first hunt of 2016, after a few scrappy items and maybe a zinc penny or two my first "keeper" of the year was the 10k ring with a small diamond in it!! After that I started gridding and came up with an eclectic group of finds. The silver ring came up near the end of the hunt as I was making one last pass down the field towards my car. A very nice way to end the day. So far this field has yielded 3 silver rings, 2 gold rings, and a silver war nickel! I'm looking forward to heading back there.

Does anyone know what my mystery item is? I am not sure of the language on it. Any ideas?

Thanks for looking.

Nice rings! I don't know what that mystery item is but that antelope/rabbit? looks familiar.

Telephone token? finger guard and numbers

Good score on the silver and gold.....I believe your mystery item is a telephone token probably Asia origin.

Yep! Israeli phone token from the 1960-70's. They used to be in almost all the foreign dealer's junk bowls during that time period.
All your finds are very nice. Thanks for sharing.
