I spent two hours very early this morning metal detecting with the XP Deus metal detector. I returned to the site where I found my very first ever trade token and I found two more of the same except the number in the back was different. Then I found two additional but different tokens and a numbered lead seal.
This leads me to believe that this may have been the site of a store at some time in the past. I found no coins though, at least not yet.
A fistful of tokens
The numbers on the reverse are different
This one is in much better shape than the last one
The two other tokens are in poor shape. I have seen the Palmolive token many times before so I know what it is for (a cake of soap). The Ranch El Campo token is a different story. I’ve never seen one before.
I found other things at the site including a copper spoon that I broke while extracting it from the hard, dry ground and a number of house parts made of brass and copper.
I still have hopes of finding coins there but I may wait for more rain (we got some rain today but not nearly enough).
Thank you for looking!
That Palmolive token looks like a rock? I must have thrown a dozen of them away!! 🙂
Great finds! We’ll get together this fall and put the Pro and Deus head to head!
LOL! Yes, the Palmolive token is toast!
I am looking forward to a hunt man! 104 today. Piece of cake!
Love you blog. Great job on the tokens.
Thanks!
