1852 Bank of upper Canada Penny token

Found this May 12th.
These things are huge.
Found it with my new Fisher F75.
about 6" down and under a root.
This park keeps turning up oldies.

Diggin coppers that size, I'd say the parks never been touched. I'm guessing your gonna dig a lot more goodies from there

The one in my avatar is a Bank Of Montreal 1/2 cent. It is the size of the US large cent. I like yours. It's a great series if you can get the coins! Must have been one nice tone when you passed over it.

Thanks for the compliments guys!
This park is obviously quite old,I beleive at on point there was a log cabin on the property somewhere.
I have come across an area that has glass,iron,pieces of clay pipe as well.
Quite possibly the dump
This last coin came from about 5' away.
How the hell do you dig a dump in the park.LOL
I have also found 2 bank of montreal 1/2 cents as well,I think they are 1852 and 1853 and an 1854 BIGGIE like i just found.
no OLD silver though and that kinda bugs me.
I should grab some pics of what the park has given up and show you guys.
I hope the F75 can hit the old silver.It's gotta be there.

Congrats...I like these Canadian bank tokens...like our hard times tokens.

I found a Nova Scotia half penny last month in a park in NJ. Tried hitting that park today but five minutes into the hunt and the skies opened up.

Good luck on future digs.
