Went for a clad walk today.

UPDATED:


You know, just one of those nice leisurely strolls, on a beautiful afternoon? The one that includes about a thousand deep knee bends?

Anyway, I didn't do too terrible. Got pretty much what I came for plus a couple of those nice surprises along the way that just keeps you coming back for more.

Here's the over all:





When I got this I said WHOA! What cannon fired that!! LOL
But with a little closer examine, it looks like it was plated. Whatever it was, (don't suppose the Lone Ranger started with a large caliber, huh.)






One of those surprises, albeit a little toasty. 1916.

Then, I noticed that the property next to the school was being razed for something. The workers had left for the day and I was pretty well tired out. I figured I'll pass the coil over some piled up topsoil. There, right on top, which was the bottom before.

Was this token. Not familiar with it but figured that since it's in such nice shape it must be modern.



At this point I'm pretty wiped and figuring to try this again tomorrow when I'm a little fresher.

On the way out I'm calling my shots, can-slaw, pull tab, foil, nickel, quarter, and on the last hit of the day?

Now where have I heard that before?

I called this as an absolutely, positive, no doubt about it, another blasted zincoln!!
I even said what do I need with a metal detector, with eyes that can tell what it is before I even dig! LOL


I dug:






ABSOLUTELY! POSITIVELY!

WRONG!!



I was tired, it was 8 inches down, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Anyway, thanks for peeking! Hope it was an enjoyable visit.

HH!

Not that I know much either, but this one kind of eludes determining too. I tried to find online, could only find one other picture. Not much help though.

Interesting, N'est-ce pas?

Thanks!

The amount of finds is probably easy to figure. I generally hunt for 3-4 hours. Some don't have the time to do that, probably just a difference in the time spent.

Thanks for the comments!

Thank you for the kind words. But, I think that it's the finds that does most of the talking. LOL

Glad you enjoyed the rendition.

I've posted it to the "What is it" forum. But, this thing is harder to pin down than I ever thought!

HH!

I checked a bit too, no dice.
Nice find though, and gotta love that silver! Congrats!

Congrats on the silver quarter! On the Tres Bon token, my search shows there's a Tres Bon Bakery in Hawaiian Gardens, CA (between L.A. & Long Beach), also looks like there may be one in Paris too, so maybe it's time for you to take a trip, lol. My bet is that it is an old bakery token as sure looks like wheat sheaf & wheat grains on your token. Andi
