Finds from 8-31-05 a day late

[Deadshot]

Got out for about a hour and in addition to the clad and bottle caps I came up with one sterling ring and a cool local token. I cant make out some of the token as it has been punched with a star cutout.

(near the bottom, too bad there are no illustrations)
I'm assuming R-5 means rear 5, which is what the star punch is obfuscating.

Wow velocity thanks a ton. I even looked at that web page and didnt see it there. Now it is time to track the rialto down and see what I can find out.

The Railto token might possibly be a railroad token fo a ride to Tillamook on the early railroads that went to the Oregon coast.

I think the Rialto is going to turn out to be a bussiness in early Tillamook. I am working on calling the pioneer museum in town to see if they can shed any light. If not I will start talking to a few older residents that I know.

Neat token, hotshot. I like the ring, too. What kind of stone is in it?
