Found a Civil War token!!! totally awesome

[sfox87]

Hey everyone, I'm new to Treasure Net but not new to finding treasure . Today I found a sweet Civil War token with my Garrett Ace 350. On one side it says "The federal union it must and shall be preserved" and on the other side it says "Army and Navy". It was definitely exciting digging this little piece of history. Thanks for looking, Sarah.

Congratz. What kind of site did you find that in? Ie.: home/yard site? school or park? battlefield? old-town urban demolition? beach? coin-store? etc....

Thanks. I found it about 6 inches deep in the middle of an old wagon road by an old paper mill site along a river.

Hi Sarah,

That's a nice one--I have only found one so far myself and someone made it into a washer! Nice big hole in the center, but still enough to ID it. Nice find!

Regards, Erik
