while visiting my son in lowell mass I was searching a small park area along the merrimac river in the "mill mile" area. Its about the size of a half dollar, made of copper. Has a eagle holding a sheaf of arrows in one claw and a olive branch in the other. there is a shield emblem on the eagles breast. the outer edge has a row of tic marks all the way around and just inside this row there is a second row of small star like marks.There is a banner between the eagles wings that has the word token on it. on the obverse it has "no cash value" there is a small scroll besides "no" and at the bottom under value there are two more fancy scrolls. Its very high quality and looks like a gov't mint might have done the stamping. any help identifying would be much appreciated.I was using a whites spectrum xlt and found at about 5 inchs deep in loamy , damp soil
 
This is a Slot Machine Token. used to get around the fact that SLOT MACHINES are Illegal in most states. most of the ones I'v found over the years dated to the 1920's & your's may also date to that time. SORRY I CANT BE OF MORE HELP, but, I'v never found a NO CASH VALUE Token of your Discription.
 
Sounds like a modern "stock" (generic) arcade token. Check out this link.
Best of luck,
Buckram
