Diggin & siftin & detecting Very Rare Colorado Druggist Coins Tokens, !!

[PikesPeakCharlie]

Spur of the moment,Santa knocks on my door & says "Lets go ! " caught a friend at home,who owns 2 city lots.and he tells us " go for it guys have fun , and we did !!! Found a shallow privy with a few bottles in it,nothing to brag too much about,,,,,except one !!! A rare 1/2oz Central Drug Co ,Cripple Creek . In 30+ years I have seen about 5-6 of these including this one.

We sifted the last foot of the privy and came up with an Indian head penny and some marbles, a doll body and buttons ( some mother of pearl & some metal ) Also found a large brass token (about the size of a half dollar) that on one side I was able to read "Worlds Greatest Gold Camp" and can see to miners picks and a gold pan, the other side I cant make out much but can read "Cripple Creek" we also got a 1951 wheatie and a brass badge/hat emblem/shield ?? That says "Offical Member Junior sales Club of America" and some other trinkets. I will post some more pics when a few items have been cleaned. I hope ya all had as good a day as we did ,no matter what you were doing

Pikes Peak Charlie , Did you find these items near Cripple Creek or did you find them around Colorado Springs ?? I really like Co. Springs ,
I enjoyed good scotch (Talisker or Lagavullin ) at The Broadmoor Hotel over a game of chess with the ex girlfriend friend .

Whoa, Charlie,

Nice pit, sir! Love that Old Kaintuck sample whiskey. Looks like it got close to the fire, or the gaffer really grabbed it with the snap case tool. Can't wait to see these post clean-up.

Who is the little guy next to the Higgins ink? What is the motif on that sky blue button? Are you gonna polish up that faucet handle & make a necklace for your lady fair?
