I have so far, found more tokens than any other kind of coin this year! Found three more on this last hunt, along with two barber dimes with really good detail, and an 1871 seated dime!(can't tell if it had a mint mark, I think it had none..) Also what I think is a Fire Department button,(hoping for feed back on this..) and some other interesting goodies... 2013-07-18 10.08.04.jpg2013-07-18 10.08.19.jpg2013-07-18 10.08.27.jpgDimes are 1906d barber, 1903o barber and 1871 seated.2013-07-18 10.08.36.jpg2013-07-18 10.08.49.jpgAlso would like some info on these shell casings if anyone can give me I.D. on them that would be really cool! 2013-07-18 10.09.00.jpg2013-07-18 10.09.10.jpg2013-07-18 10.09.24.jpg2013-07-18 10.09.38.jpg2013-07-18 10.09.45.jpg2013-07-18 10.08.13.jpg2013-07-18 10.11.13.jpgThanks for looking!

Super finds! The dimes are awesome but I really like the tokens and ornate suspender clips. My favorite one is the "good for one cigar", really neat stuff.
 

Love the fire department button. It's early 1900s I found one but only the front of it. Nice finds though!
 

Def a fire dept. button. Great finds!
 

I could be wrong but the cartridge with the H on it looks to possibly be a New Haven Arms .44 cal. rim fire. Could possibly be from a Henry rifle. The one with US on it looks to be maybe a .41 cal., and just might be a rare .42 cal. To my understanding, very few guns were ever produced in .42 so it's unlikely but you never know. You made some great finds. Love the coins and tokens.
 

Nice assortment of finds
 

Sweet digs. :icon_thumleft: Congrats on the silver dimes, token, and other nice relics. Love the F.D. button, door knob and decorative suspender clip.:thumbsup: Keep digging!

Congratulations on the tokens, I am hoping everytime I detect to pull one up. What a great hunt!
 

2 Saloon tokes !!!! :headbang: I'm not sure about Montana's tokens, but if they were from here,they would more than pay for your Ace ! Very nice Fire Department button !!,I found one just like it here last year,but mine was pushed in flat. Is the Hight & Fairfield Jewelers piece a lid ?? Man, with the tokes,coins,and trinkets you had a heck of a good day !!! Congrats 8-)

Thanks! Any Idea on age? Are these very old?

I have found over 70 tokens with my ace 250,(18 of them this year) and my best one, happened to be a territorial token worth around $300, so I have definatly paid for my ace many times over!!!2013-03-27 14.03.50.jpg2013-03-27 14.03.59.jpg<-----Montana territorial token EV 9. So far this is the only known version of this token, the other version has a pictoral of a bear on one side. This one is speculated to be EARLIER than that paticular type, which is an EV 10. This one is estimated less because even tho it is known where it comes from, it does not have M.T. on it, which brings the EV down froma 10 to a 9. I am STILL hoping to find another one....!!!!!

Superb finds. The double firing pin marked cartridge with the "H" is a .44 rim fire for the Henry rifle and the much more common .44 rimfire Winchester Model 1873 rifle/carbine.
