It's amazing how much large tokens look like large cents in the dirt....

From the same house all the indians and wheats came out of the other night I pulled a small pocket watch that is more complete than any other I've found (some numbers visible on the front), and I got what I thought was a nice large cent that ended up being a token. It's a Guth Chocolate Company token from Baltimore, but the back is real corroded so the eagle is barely visible. Sure looked nice coming out of the ground for a minute though!

The other thing was pretty cool. I had some help on here figuring out what it was. It came out looking like a double-ended bullet cartridge, but WD40 and two pairs of channel locks showed it was one slid inside another. I was told it might have been used for storing matches or something similar, although this one was empty.

Also included here (from last night) are better pictures of the KGIII I pulled on a door knock cleaned up a little and taken with a real camera instead of my crappy phone. I thought it was 1776 but they weren't minted that year, so with some side lighting and a good lens I was able to see a 73. My only other KG was a KGII but is nowhere near this good looking (which should tell you how bad it actually is).

Had exactly the same experience this past week with a Western Maryland Dairy token.

Nearly perfect size. I was sure I had an awesome LC.

(nice KG BTW)

Good hunt. I have also been fooled by tokens that like to make themselves look like a Large Cent.

Those tokens are usually green, round, and when you see the edge the excitement begins.... It just diminishes a little bit when you realize it's a token. And then you get happy agin when you think "wow, that's a cool token!" LOL

Nice saves, Jeff! We need to get out on a hunt sometime this fall.

My wife's due at the end of October, so we'd better do it quick!
