Simply put, to dig tokens. After spending the last three days feeling like crap, (what I like to call "Bed, Bath, and Beyond Hell"), I had to get out of the house. With no new sites opening up, I decided to retry a couple of areas that I've had luck at in the past. Finding nothing at the first site, I went to an area that I had found a nice semi-key date V-nickel, and a worn Barber dime. I told myself that I would dig every iffy signal, and these are what popped up. All were crappy but repeatable signals. The bad news is that the token is obviously bent. The good news is that it's unlisted in Stuart Pritchards Colorado token book. It's a "Good For 5 cents", from "The John Stamison Bar", located at 1744 Curtis St., Denver. That location was where the Denver Post newspaper office was located in the 1890's. Other than that, I'm at a loss for info. Have to hit the library and backtrack the business directories. Now I got to figure out how to straighten the token without damaging it. First token find of the year for me.
