Looks like an IHP but it's better!

I went back to the permission where I have been finding silver. I'm now doing the outer parts of the property close to a main street so trash has increased and I only found a few coins. A wheatie came late in the day then as the sun was setting I found an IHP! Looked a bit odd and couldn't read the date but that made my day. Returning home I cleaned up my meager finds only to realize it wasn't an IHP... it was a civil war token!

October has been a great month metal detecting!!! :cool3:

That’s really neat. Not too long ago I found a “coin” but it turned out to be a post token for Camp / Fort Stewart Ga.

Cool find, congrats. It makes me want to pull out my Indians and look closer at them.
 
I noticed that it is from Cincinnati Ohio. That is a long ways from home. If you would kindly return it to Ohio I will send you a nice looking Indian Head penny.:laughing:

Nice save on a piece of American history. Congratulations and enjoy it.
 
Such a nice find! That screams history and I like that it is approximately the same size as an actual penny.

A coin and token combo!
