I guess it could be a rare token.

I looked for it at tokencatalog.com ~ there's 26392 Minnesota tokens listed, and only 5 listed for Mountain Lake Minn ~ but this "woodruff" token isn't pictured or listed!

Digging deeper........
Amelius E. Woodruff was born in Essex county, New York, July 26, 1842. In 1875 he came to Cottonwood country and conducted a farm in Mountain Lake township for 15 years. In 1890 he came to Mt. Lake, built his store and started a general merchandising business, which he continued until 1910, when he retired.

Love the 1933 Cracker Jack presidential coin too!! Awesome finds! Wish my yard was as stocked with neat treasures!

The answer to your question "Will it ever be hunted out?" is no. No matter what you find, or how often you search, items continue to accumulate. The more people, the more accumulation.

Those are some great tokens, some of those cracker jack ones are worth a pretty penny. Congrats

Cool finds! I'll take tokens over common silver all day long!

Did you change anything to get these new finds? Different detector? Setting? Etc.
