Default Old Token Found at the Defunct Amusement Park

Hey, dudes, Zoyboy, Silver Zeus, Paco and I decided to hit the defunct amusement park. The wooded area was totally diggable, so we were excited to get started.

My finds:
- 1919 "Swift & Company" token. The front says, "A Swift Dollar of Sales." I am not much of a token expert, but I guess this one indicates that with a dollar purchase of meat, "84.5 cents are paid for live stock, 13 cents are paid for labor excuses and freight, and 1.6 cents remanin for Swift & Company."

Silver Zeus:
- 1903 Barber dime
- 1785 Connecticut copper, Bust Facing Right

Paco's finds:
- Indian Head penny

Zoyboy:
- nada - hehehehe
