Back to the courthouse site I've been pounding for about 2 years. It keeps on producing even when I'm convinced it's picked clean!!

First time out since the ground thawed. Managed a couple of 1830s Canadian bank tokens. One has a ship on the obverse and says "ships colonies commerce" on the other side. 2nd one is a really nice "un sous" lower Canada bank token.

Also came across a nice tombac button. Love the decorated ones...

Decent haul from this site overall [emoji2][emoji2] 20190419_183751.jpg 20190419_183732.jpg IMG-20190419-WA0005.jpg 20190419_184243.jpg 20190419_184320.jpg

The inscription refers to the famous statement made by Napoleon in 1811 that ships, colonies and commerce were the three British advantages that would defeat him in the end.

Thanks, yeah I dont know if the frozen ground jostled some things around or if I just wasnt going slow enough in the past. They were both in an area I've been over at least 20 times
