Incredible shape tokens, from 1859.

[Vino]

I hit a old permission I have yesterday. I was only at this place one time before. At that time i only had my first detector then. It was a house built in 1780s. Never found anything there last year.
So i figured what the hell, I know there was alot of iron there.
So yesterday i crack out the deus and went at it for 2 hours.
I found nothing real old, but i had fun.. These tokens were about 6inches down a hit like a LC or nice silver.. Let me tell you, the condition there in is mind boggling. If there WAS a old copper in there it would be in great condition .. Oh well, thats how it goes sometimes. .AHABE can tell you that..LOL.
Also found 2 merks, a silver dime from the Netherlands, horse rosette, and a silver bracelet.
The tokens were from a umbrella and sun shade company that started in 1849 in Philadelphia. .I have to check but this could've been his house?
Enjoy the pics.

Cool hunt. Those tokens are in fabulous condition. Think there's more on the site or did you hit it well enough?

I'd rather find a minty token like that than an old so-so condition copper anyway day! (and it over 100 of Abe's coppers)

Mercury dimes and Indiana Heads are my absolute favorite dime to find! Great finds!

glad to see tokens in great shape! I have dug a few, more modern aluminum types, and they get trashed

Now that was 2 hours well spent. Congrats on the nice finds. Some tokens are just as good as coins to me.

Very nice finds, George. The three tokens you found date to 1859...PA442 So pre civil war which for us down here is pretty darn old. Good going!!
