I went over to a softball quad today for a 1.5 hour hunt. The weather was great, and no one was there.....just the way I like it! Ive been gridding around this one field finding mostly clad and pop tabs, when I dug this rectangular aluminum thing that was crushed in half, mangled, and had some writing on it. I pounded it out between wood when I got home, cleaned it up, and saw that it was a 5 cent trade token.
Im guessing that it says "Take me to the Bism(arck) on one side, and "Good for 5 cents in trade (at the) Gieb Rich". I tried to search for it online to no avail, so Im not sure how old it was, or if it has something to do with that town in North Dakota. It looks like someone poked a hole in the corner as a pendant, but its too bad the other corner is gone. Ive never seen a rectangular token like this before.
Thanks for looking, and HH!
