Hi all...Hope everyones findin' some good stuff. I finally got a chance to do a 4 hour hunt on Saturday, and went back to the middle school where I found the Colorado tax token. I found a spot where there is a buried curb evidently where there used to be a street at one time. I'm finding some fairly old stuff along this curb which is now under about 3" of grass. Great thing about it is that when I burn out on the relic hunting, I can just walk over to the sports fields and do some pretty fair clad hunting. So here's the skinny from Saturdays hunt...$9.40 in clad, a brass band uniform button, a .925 silver ring, a whatsit, and 3 RTD tokens. I could use some input on the whatsit and the tokens. I've included a closeup of both. The whatsit is missing a flourish on the other side of the rosette so basically it's a little over half of what it was. That's a screw head you can see, and there was another right next to it that was snapped off. My best guess is a handle of some sort. The tokens are obviously a transit token but my search doesn't find any that look like these. There are still tokens available to ride the bus in the Denver area but they are way different looking than these. So I'm more interested in dating them. Oh yeah, the two pennies under the ring are wheats, 44D and 54D. Funny when you find a strip of undisturbed ground in an area where reconstruction is all around it. Good luck everyone~CO2
