Default Fellow Detectorist ? Token Collector Needs Help !!!

I find trade tokens while detecting all the time, I always like doing the research and learning the history. While researching a dug token last summer I Googled up a web-site that's a growing monster. It's Richard's Token Database It's more of a collector oriented site where people nation wide can post PICS of their tokens by state and city. I'd like to see if I could get all us fellow detectorist to start posting images of their tokens. I've posted my entire Oklahoma collection and will continue. I know for a fact that metal detectorist find unlisted tokens all the time. If "WE" can post these PIC'S, It would be a big help for fellow collectors years to come. So feel free to check out my Oklahoma tokens, And please add some PICS of your own, Together we can make this an excellent web-site.
John...

Thanks for the link - although I've only found one token - I find them fascinating and as interesting as old coins...I'll be sure to post any future token finds.

Smile Thanks for the link

Thanks for the link. I will post my finds there. I have some with no ID on them - guess I will find out what to do about them on the site. It will be interesting to see if I can find info on tokens I haven't been able to ID.
