Dayton NV toy badge

CarsonChris · Nov 28, 2020

Got out for a bit and found some knicknacks.

First find was a toy badge with Pete phone Dayton NV. Then it was off to a different spot where I found some type of a a coin purse/make up bag frame and a small bell. On the way home I managed to pull a 1924 Merc.

That badge is an aluminum token that was made by a vending machine at carnivals, arcades etc. You used a dial to select what you wanted punched into it.

Cool find!

Love the black silver, sometimes shiny sometimes not.
I bet that purse frame slowed you down for a while.

Yes. That was in an 1870’s location. There were multiple square nails within the hole when I dug that out. Might be a good spot to sift.
