Eclectic Ensemble of Unearthed Delicacies...

[Subterranean]

The sum total of the goodies rescued from school and park lawns this weekend so far. I happened upon the opened Imperial Schrade IMP24 pocket knife as a surface find in the park grass, which I nearly stepped on! It is missing its scales but I can fabricate some new ones for it. No rust or damage otherwise. Blades are in original shape!



I found the usual mix of kiddie bling, a game token, a school DARE medal, a cool "heavy" BMW key fob with a Portland Oregon dealer's name on it, and a RELIC...(rare for me but it happens.) At a 1940's schoolyard, I dug a small aluminum token that I first thought was an old play money coin. When I got it home and cleaned it, I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a store token marked, "The Carter Oil Co./ Camp No. 9/ Commissary" and " Good For 1 C in Merchandise." From what I can glean, the Carter Oil Number 9 Camp is now a ghost town in Oklahoma, having been inhabited and thriving from about 1922-1967. Someone punched a hole in it long ago...



The "PM" Precious Metal find of the day was a crucifix with chain. The crucifix is marked ".925/Sterling/ (R)" and the chain is not marked and probably stainless steel.



Thank you for taking a peek. I wish you all a safe and fun holiday weekend and Happy Hunting! Sub

Nice bunch of finds! The Carter Oil Co. token is listed in Chadwick's OK token book along with the higher denominations up to $1. He says "Carter Camp No. 9" was in section 9 of township 26 North, range 6 East of Osage County. On tokencatalog.com, the listings are there, but all are "image wanted" so if you could post pics of both sides on the site, that would be great. Or, send the pics to me and I can post.
