Went back to a cellar i found last year.

Had the 5 inch coil on so i figured i would give it a go once more at this beautiful sight right on the water :icon_thumleft:

I have hit it pretty good but was able to pull this killer token and barrel tap :headbang:

I cant find a match for it online :dontknow:

I hope its rare ;D

Nice condition / grade on the oldie Johnny B.

I wouldn't give it too much though, people traveled. I got a 2, and 3 cent US coins, it is fun to get something different / unexpected.
 

cool token!!!!! MR TUFF

Nice Canadian token :thumbsup: makes you wonder how so much Canada coins ended up down here i found a few weeks ago a Upper Canadian token half penny . Good hunt :icon_thumright: Jim
Hey,if I am not mistaken your '57 is one of the rarest!!

The coins of Upper Canada are very popular with collectors of British Empire coins, not only those of Canada. There are a few scarce pieces in this series. The 1857 issue is quite difficult to find. The pieces have been given the affectionate nickname of "St. George Pieces", because of the obverse design.
 

ive found more american stuff up here in canada than you would think, my avatar is a token from grand rapids mich. and im in nova scotia so stuff got around
