1st post and todays find...Token

[scuba1970]

Took my sons metal detecting today at an old large brick home up the street from us today. Have found a 1936 mercury dime there and an old Air Force sterling US pin in the past. Today found two wheaties, 1942 and 1947, an old toy gun, two clad quarters and this token. Token was about 6 inches deep and thought it was just a piece of junk siding aluminum when first pulled out. Is from an old amusement park in St Louis MO that closed in 1963. Not sure how old this token is but place opened in 1896. House is from turn of century.
