Monday Day Off Work, Guess what I did here in NW Ohio?

[ringfinder]

Well had the day off from work Monday and got work done around the house and then headed out metal detecting some of my old sites. Many of them still had crops in them, but all and all still had a great day. I found 2 Indian head pennies, a Saint Christopher medallion and a, I think token with Benjamin Franklin's picture on the front and on the the back New York on the bottom and Broas Bro on the top of the back. Beats me what it is, but I'm sure someone out there can tell me. I guess hour wise not to profittable, at least that's what my wife said. But I thought it was a Great Day to be outside, doing my favorite thing, Metal Detecting. From the weather report, it looks like it's going to be rainy and maybe even snow flurries this week. Heck I've hunted with snow on the ground before. You know how that cabin fever is ha ha. Take care and HH

Looked at the page you told me about bmanofnbc, and it was a close one, guess I should have told you that on the middle of the coin in the back is Army Navy, you can see the navy pretty well but the army is just about gone. I'll keep looking, man you guys are great in looking up stuff. I'm going back to google and look up the bread token I found Saturday, picture was in my post. HH you guys

Thanks Everyone for all the replies. No Baddog, the token isn't like the one you sent me from E-Bay. It has a picture of Ben Franklin on the front and Broas Bros on the back top and bottom it reads New York, in the middle just barely readable it reads
Army and Navy, the pictue of it is at the top of this page. Thanks again everyone, I can't wait to get back out hunting. It did snow here in Ohio today and was very cold. But as long as the ground dosn't freeze I'm good to go ha ha. Later guys HH

 

[Burdie]

Fantastic. Great digs. Mondays should be declared metal detecting day with finds like these.

Nice job, Ringfinder.

I still think it's the same one, only the one I posted is worn out or mis-struck on the back.
If you look closely you can see part of the "A" in Army & the bottom of the "Y" in Navy
