To hot to detect anywhere but online today, sometimes surfing is almost as fun, well almost! The historical society was very grateful for my 3 donations of local tokens of Waukesha. One was a bus token from the early 50's,another was a parking token for First National Bank of Waukesha (long gone), and the third was the large cent-looking coin dated 1868. According to the curator it was some sort of token presented by the Mason's and a real find for the museum, as they had no representation of this piece. As far as I'm concerned, it was a great honor to me to donate these pieces knowing they will be on display for future generations....YAY! So always consider donating special finds like this, it just might be a good way to keep this wonderful hobby going, and it makes us Detectorists look good too. Who knows, maybe opening more old yards up for exploration as well.HH ~Andy~
