Sorry for the delayed post. I actually returned to the same field as my previous post the very next day. First hunt was Monday, March 31. This 2nd hunt took place last Tuesday evening on April 1.
Anyway, I returned to the same field, but this time I hunted the part of the field that had the schoolhouse in it.
I found 2 more old coins, well actually they are tokens, but most likely circulated the same as pennies at the time due to severe coin shortages.
The first one I found was an 1864 Patriotic Civil War Token. It says "Our Army" on the back.
The second one I found was an 1844 Half Penny Bank Token from the Bank of Montreal, Canada.
The hunt time was an 1.75 hours.
Since I don't clean my coin finds, they don't look all that great.
However, I will also include pics from the internet of the same type of coins that look nicer so that you can see the details better.
