Did a quick early morning hunt and came up with one good find. It's a 1930's (I think) token with the Statue of Liberty on one side and the Empire State Building on the other. Definitely a cool find!

The token was only about three inches down, so I thought it might be a recent token. But when I saw the Empire State Building on one side, I figured it had to be from the 1950's or earlier.

It's a very large token, about the size of a half dollar. I found it at my "hunted out" spot where I'm finding a lot of musket balls and old flat buttons.

Here's a few pics of the token before and after I cleaned it up:
