1850's pocket spill
Did another one of my work time short hunts and stopped where I got the 1769 coin the other day. Went under a old apple tree by a stone wall and got a real good hit. Dig out the 1856 Nova Scotia half penny and then rechecked the hole and got a perfect hit slightly over and was thinking big silver. Instead out popped a 1854 British one penny. At first I was thinking New Brunswick token because they are the same size. I put a modern quarter by it in one of the pictures for a size comparison. Gotta love pulling them giant coins out of the ground! [emoji2]
