Nice season opening with 1787-1908 coppers,militaria and a cool relic.

Hey everyone,

So decided to officially open the Canadian hunting season. Went to one of my spots and even thou the weather was pretty cold, managed to hunt for a few hours. Was really hoping to pull some old coin and wasn't disappointed.

First got a nice spill of Victorian to Georgian large cents 1900-1908



Than a few halfpenny tokents.
One John Wilkinson Iron Master Token 1787 (pretty beat, but my first of this type)
Two Agriculture and commerce 1835.
One Bank of Lower Canada 1837



That's what John Wilkinson would have looked like originally


Also found a very cool British Farthing 1884 (never seen one before)



Than, my favorite find of the day. British Artillery button 1820's-1830's



Also my very first clay marble. Thought it was a musket ball at first.




A nice little hunt!

Thanks for the comments!

All very nice!

Are you sure about the button date? It's hard to see the Crown but it looks Victorian to me, so post-1837.

As long as its the same Crown type & 1 piece which I can't make out then all is well. The Vicky ones are 2 piece.

Yes, I believe it's exactly the same. Smaller than in the previous thread, but same type. 95% of the buttons I have found at that spot dated to Canada Rebellion or just before that, only one being Revolutionary War period.
