a few coins found since my last post.
1905.jpg
The rectangular 12-1/2¢ is the second one I've found. the original can be seen here http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,179786.msg1312026.html#msg1312026
I had an offer from someone to buy the first one, and I told my wife I thought I would
never find another 12-1/2¢ token so I thought I would keep it. The nex day I found the
second one plus the 2 geo. lord 12-1/2¢ ones plus a 1919 lincoln, a 1905 barber dime,
a piece of silverware, and crystal white token.

These are I believe, a couple of railroad pocket watches. Can't see it on the picture, but
there's an old steam engine etched on the back of one of them.

The coins here are 3 IH's 1898,1904, and 1907
lincoln's are 1915d,1916,1919s,1919d,1920d
The barber dimes are 1911, and semi key date 1892s. I had found the key date 1995o
last summer, so this was a nice addition.
The medal in the center I'm thinking depicts Gen. Phil Sheridan, but not sure. It says
across the top Wyoming-St Paul 08 and under the bust says Sheridan.
The token to the right of the medal is a good for 5¢ in trade on one side and on the back says
The Brunswick-Balke Collender Company

The bottom 2 are maverick tokens, good for 5¢, from Gualt and Carr, blank on the reverse.
I've found 3 of them so far, and they're not listed in the state token book.

Those are awesome finds, what kind of place(s) are you detecting? Congrats on some nice finds and keep on diggin' and postin'.
 

I would bet your Sheridan badge is a camp reunion badge from the 1908 reunion. You may be able to find out if such a reunion did exist thru GAR records. I believe they are searchable online. I think that is a very nice find.
 

Great finds all of them, can you/ did you open the watches yet? I see the steam engine, the one
on the right :thumbsup:
 

I can't believe you found another one of the 12 1/2 tokens!!! :o 8) How cool is that! I would just be in heaven if I had found all those tokens, Mon!!!! :o What a GREAT assortment!

WoW! Congrats on all those fantastic finds!!!

Nana :wink:
 

Congratulations!

I hope you'll contact whoever does the Wyoming token book about your 12 1/2 cent token. And perhaps also consider posting photos of your tokens here:

I've posted all of mine--and I think I'm helping solve a mystery about where one of them was issued due to where mine and others have been found. :thumbsup:



Best Wishes,

Those are some sweet tokens and finds.

All seem to be in nice shape also.

You have a steller site there for metal detecting! Can't wait to see what else you pull out of that ground! :thumbsup:
 

I love the tokens...I've never found a trade token and only one hard times token.

Congrats.

Awesome tokens. I like finding tokens (especially ones like yours) more than the coins. First 12.5 cent token I have seen.
