Old park gives up some goods !

[pl8man]

Well today I was out for some oldies ! I hunted a park in an old area that I had hunted with other detectors since the late 1990's . Each time I got a new machine more deep finds would pop up . The new MXT PRO worked great today ! First two old coins were a 1944 & 1954S wheats . They were about 6-7 inches and were iffy targets but the new machine found them ! Next I got a 8 inch iffy signal that was all over the place . It went from +35 - +72 . It was my first ever old token ! I have never found any " GOOD FOR " tokens in 15 years of hunting . This one is a Good for one small loaf of bread . It's from the Parisian Baking Co. of Mountain View , California . I'm guessing it's from the 1940's ? The last old coin was a big surprise , at 8 inches another iffy target . It went from +45 - +62 VDI . I was happy to see a Indian Head penny , 1891 ! The other cool items were two old spoons , one marked Regal Pure Silver Plate . Not sure what the last item is . It's brass and looks old .
I am loving this new MXT PRO !

Nice finds! I'd say that bakery token is much older than the 1940s. It is listed in Kappen's CA Tokens book, but with no further info. In my 1923 R. G. Dun directory of California, the listing is, "Parisian Bakery - M. Casaneau". On tokencatalog.com is a hexagonal piece from the same business, good for a large loaf. Typically back in the 1910s & 20s, a small loaf was 5¢ and a large loaf was 10¢.

Nice! Love those tokens!

Glen--great info! It is interesting how the R. G. Dun company got the name wrong, probably because it was handwritten and the "UC" got interpreted as "NE". Just goes to show that almost all records have the potential of error.
