Went out for just about an hour today to schoolyard #4 (I can't call it silver schoolyard just yet as no silver has been found there), and on the third or fourth signal I pulled up this neat token from the Mendota Coal and Coke company. It's big, about the size of a half dollar, and it was DEEP, around 10". Nice to know I'm not missing any big silver way down below. This one rung up +36 on the Safari.
Got this off the internet which gives a bit of history of the company:
MENDOTA, a town in the northwestern part of Lewis County [Washington state], named in 1908 by the Mendota Coal and Coke Company, who had a mining company in Missouri with the same name. (P. L. Hansen, in "Names MSS.," Letter 74.)
