Big Fang and I hit the "Token Yard" again...

This was our 3rd trip to this yard and each time we get into more tokens. It seems like someone just tossed an entire collection of Indiana, Michigan and Illinois tokens all over the yard. Front, side, back even out by the road. The count from this yard is up close to 120 now with my 24 and Robin's 18 yesterday. I also dug two 1896 Indians and some wheaties. Robin got a nice Standing Liberty Quarter with a date too. Unfortunately only of 4 of mine have establishment names or addresses. The rest are just "good for" with nothing else but a serial number.
 
Being a token collector, I would love finding a place like that. I wonder if someone who once lived there serviced vending machines and these were used as slugs so he would toss them out when he found them in the money box. Neat finds!

Man, that's a lot of tokens, Neil.

I was told that the holed "Good For" tokens with a serial # on them were used in old time slot machines in the 30's-40's. They were similar to the ones that said "Good for One Package of Mints". In order to make the machines legal at the time, they were introduced as vending machines.
