Got out two more times since my last week's post. Went to explore the spot where I've found a good number of early military finds in the month of July. Finds weren't as abundant but managed to make a few discoveries I haven't made in the past.
Found a few nice early coins, all in a very good shape.
My favorite was the huge Lower Canada One Penny token 1837 in an absolutely mint condition, my best one so far.
It's in a such pristine state, you can see every button one the guy's coat on the coin's obverse (In fact I can see an old Revolutionary War one ready too fall off
)
An other good coin was my first, To Facilitate Trade halfpenny 1825
Than, an other first and again To Facilitate Trade halfpenny of a different design 1833
Got an other nice coin, Blacksmith token in a good shape (they are supposed to look this way) BL-5 variety with a brockage error (something I have never seen before).
Here's what it looks like in the catalogue and the brockage error

Discovered a few military finds. One more Tudor Rose shako, two more mystery Victorian buttons and the 1st Regiment of Volunteer militia (all 1830-1850)

A lion's head from an early 1800's uniform
Got a bunch of good relics.
More complete clay pipe bowls in one hunt than in my five years of detecting
An intact early 1800's ink well
And an old hand engraved knife handle
Thanks for the comments.
