Short hunt nets Grangeville, Idaho saloon token & a few odds 'n ends...

[LovestheShiny!]

I got the OK to detect an old ca 1900 home in Grangeville, Idaho today, a great owner who was remodeling the home. Found out in the first 5 minutes that it had been detected perhaps several times before, as no high tones on the AT Pro. Too bad... I had high hopes for this property. I did snag some odds and ends, best find an aluminum "T & J" (saloon) / GRANGEVILLE / IDAHO" trade token, GOOD FOR 12 1/2 C in TRADE, very happy with that! Other finds include a metal hollow doll head, a toy soldier, a couple of newer nickels, an early pull tab (wow!), and a few newer Memorial Cents. Not much to report, but still fun to detect and find that token, pictures follow, thank you for your interest!

I'd rather find an old trade token, than an old coin, any day.

Thanks Tom, yep, they are a fun and historic find, not to common to run across but happy when I do!

Thank you History Hound! Got the OK at a 1955 Drive In Theater, it has been previously detected but will see what I can find.

Love the toy Soldier!

Thank you Paul, yeah a few cool items from that old yard.

Best of luck at the drive-in hopefully they missed a bunch of stuff

They did... about 5,000 pull tabs! My Garrett sounded like a machine gun on full auto in some areas. I did get a few goods and a lot of modern clad. Will write up story when done there later this month.

Thank you Double D! I agree, the token and that oddball ladies head were the best finds.
