So last night Silver Shano and I got permission dig a farm dating back to 1683. Needless to say we couldn't wait for the weekend and it gets dark early, so headlamps on and coyotes howling we did a night hunt and I got a few good ones. A draped bust large cent no date. :crying: However to make up for that I found an 1812 Half Penny Token it is Canadian. I have not done a lot of research on this yet. The detail is incredible on this token. I also found some buttons and musket balls. Here are a few pics to get started there will be more to follow.

Very nice. I've never heard of a half penny token. It's in darn good condition! Congrats on an OLD permission
 
Went back for night #2 and was not disappointed. I found an 1840 1 Penny token Nova Scotia, mystery coppers, musket balls, and some more buttons. I hope you guys enjoy.

Thanks everyone. I never heard about the Canadian Tokens either. I also can't believe I found 2 in 2 days.:shock:
