Spanish copper, Six Pence and a very cool badge

[GioTheGreek]

Hey guys,


My buddy and I went to a farm that we've beaten to death. Targets are scarce, but there's still a few surprises left. You've heard it all before... bla bla bla Gio, I know, I know... In all honesty, our hunt was very boring... but if you are persistent, something eventually pops up. It's a big farm, that's what I kept telling myself. His finds came from a treacherous bank, that was above a big patch of hog weed. He had the balls to venture above there and it paid off for him. I wanted no part in falling into that stuff on a sunny day.


The highlight of my hunt was the Spanish copper. You don't see too many of these around here.




William IV Six Pence. I now have George, William and Victoria sixpences, all from this site.

1861 - Isabel II - 25 Centimos de Real (copper)

1864 NB One Cent. Nice detail.

A "Duck Dog" Sporting Button - This one made me feel guilty, as I was out having fun while my Duck Toller was home...

Dans Find's --- Looking for info on the Customs Badge. My google-fu stunk on this one... I'm guessing around 1920?


Canada Customs Badge Circa 1xxx

Two nice buttons. Dandy and Tombac.

Happy hunting!

Man, that's a bunch of quality finds. Buttons, old silver, beautiful coppers including Spanish...wow!

I really love the Canada Customs badge. That date range seems about right, maybe even a little older. Living in a border town with an international port, I have always hoped to find a badge.

That farm is a dream permission!

Thanks, J Cache!

I thought the badge was silver, but it is nickel plated brass or something like that.

Stay away from the hog weed, it's nasty stuff!
However, the coins and the badge are great stuff, glad you came closer together
