Here are a few more metal detecting finds. These appear to be some kind of arcade machine tokens. I have not had much luck finding any information about them. If anybody knows anything about them, please let me know.
The quarter is just to show the size of the token, seems quite large for an arcade token. As you can see, the large token is Good For 20 Free Games in Machine G. I would love to know what machine G was!!
enjoy

Hi, Packrat...Coincidental, I found these the other day...They are O.K. Amusement tokens...which you can google...believe they are early 1900, with a ebay value of 7-8 dollars each...Although ours came from the ground, I think they lost their brass finish, you can see the ones I posted...Mine found in Maine...4/16/2012
