Found a cool Jenny Lind token today! The "Swedish Nightingale" this token is from her 1850-1852 tour of america she was brought to the US by none other than P.T.Barnum she did over ninety concerts in the US. If you google the token it's a great story. The token is bronze and has a great patina on it, found it about 6 inches down with my ATPro. I first thought is might be a half penny, I could only make out part of the eagle and part of the Jenny, thought it was penny, after I cleaned cleaned the mud off I saw it was a Jenny Lind token, I'm still pretty happy about it you don't find many of these that's for sure kinda rare I think Jenny Lind 1850 copy.jpg

That's a really great token, congrats. I like the Seated style eagle, and that blue-green patina is gorgeous.
