Trade token and Silver Rosie dime!

[oddcoins]

Hi friends!

I wanted to go detecting after work tonight but I promised my daughter that I'd go with her to her best friend's softball game. The game started at 6m ~ I got off of work at 4:30, so I told her I'd only take her if she let me go detecting for a little while before the game started. She agreed and we drove downtown and I found a spot to hunt for about an hour.

I didn't do too bad for only detecting for about an hour! Here's what I dug:

1964-D Silver Rosie Dime
25c trade token
3 clad quarters
3 clad dimes
15 memorial cents
no nickels

I was very suprised when I dug the trade token! It sounded just like a zinc cent on my Explorer SE ~ but I decided to dig it because it seemed kinda deep for a zinc cent ~ maybe 5 inches deep or so. I haven't even looked it up to see if it's a listed token! It's copper/bronze and about the size of a US quarter ~ it reads CAL-ORE. TAVERN WEED KLAMATH HGWY. // GOOD FOR 25c IN TRADE. I assume it's from Weed California, right? Does HGWY mean "highway"?

The 1964-D Silver Rosie dime was so dark when I dug it that I didn't realize it was a silver coin for a while! I thought it was the usual discolored clad dime.

I took pic's of the silver dime & trade token before and after I cleaned them up. The dime is my silver coin find #39 for the year.

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Ya see, that's how you reel me in. Start with "Trade Token" and you get me annoying you. And a nice one to boot. I can't identify where it's from, but someone here usually can. But you gotta dig a nickel next time. I can already see how your settings were set. Nice, nice token. You dig no more for a while, 'kay?

Congratulations on another silver, Neil. The token is great. The Weed/Klamath highway has to be highway 97. Its about 70 miles or so between Weed and Klamath Falls, and I've driven it often. Can't recall a Cal Ore tavern, but there must be some record of it.

Thanks man!

I found out that this token is from DORRIS California (Siskiyou County). Is Dorris in between Klamath Falls and Weed on Hwy 97?

I've been going through physical withdraws as well. Been a long time for me. Miss their warmth.
