"Token Park" gives another one

TundraPlugger · May 3, 2019

I got done with work a little later than usual today but I still wanted to put in 20 minutes swinging at the old park on the way home.

At first I only dug a few rusty nails.. sort of figuring I was going to leave empty handed.

Started back towards my truck and came across a single direction wheatie tone about 7" deep.
I dug my plug and had to go down to about 8" before I found my target. I extracted the coin from a dirt ball to discover what I thought was a nickel.
I was going to go back in the hole with the pin pointer to try to find the "penny" I was picking up until I rubbed one side of the coin and discovered I had an old token!.......8th one from that park!

I'm going to soak it in some vinegar when I get home to get that crust off.

That's a really nice one. Love the 5 cent ones. Great find.

I want a token park! I like digging tokens every bit as much as silver.

Nice one, Tundra - you’re a token diggin’ machine! It cleaned up pretty nicely

Absolutely - I love those tokens! Much more unique than silver, and they usually have a more local, researchable history associated with them. Great stuff!

Nice token. I'm still hoping for one.

Thanks Airmet! I agree about the tokens.....very much more unique than silver!
Here is after a good soak in vinegar......

That's amazing you get so many tokens there, must have been a busy spot back in the day....

That park continues to live up to its name/ Congrats Tundra on yet another very neat Token. Trapper

The park is right up from main street and used to be surrounded by businesses so I'm sure a lot of people have traveled through there especially back in the day when the city park was the place to go.

Thanks Jack! It was a terrible signal so I'm surprised I even heard it. Hopefully there's a few more to be had!

Thanks GS! I'm glad it cleaned up as well as it did....it was really crusty before the vinegar bath!

Wow, that did clean up nicely! Nice "Plaza token"! I believe the SCHAAF MPLS is the token maker's name, from Minneapolis, Mn.
