Tried a new park today. It was the site of an old trading post active in the 1850's. I got there and it was as basic a park as you could find. A big grass field with no trees, a small covered shelter with 4 picnic tables, and parking for 1 car. I spent about 45 minutes without a diggable signal. Headed back to the shelter for a soda and a break and decided to move on. My car was 20 feet away, but of course I had to turn on the detector while walking to the car. Half way there I get what appears to be a good penny/dime signal about 2 inches down. Almost sure it was going to be a clad. But I got out my probe and screwdriver to pop it out (so I wouldn't be skunked). It was about 1 1/2 in deep but seemed unusually large. Out popped a token. Figuring it was modern, I waited till I got home to ID it.
Turns out it was made 1926-28. A nice BOGO token for Palmolive soap.
ps: Yes, I scratched the back.
Did that with the screwdriver after I located it with the probe. I expected it to be a modern penny or dime. Lesson learned!
