Dave and I went to an older house that used to be a store front on a town green. At first it was discouraging because we didnt find anything around the house except pieces of siding. The back yard was a big open rectangle a couple of hundren yards long. After swinging around there for a while Dave yells to me and I run over to see him holding a Large copper. What else is new? :lol: Then after he shewed me away I found this civil war token and the 1802 Large cent. Dave also found 2 more lc's.

The token reads:

New York Store
South Main St
Waterbury, CONN.

On the back:

Redeemable in sums of 5cts or more
Postage currency

We found a bunch of dog tags too, mostly from the 30's.
