1st-2 Cent & Other Goodies!

Went back to the USMC Button house today for 4hrs. Weather was cool but warmed up nicely. Glad I dressed in layers, whew!

1st target of the day was the plain button, next up was my 1st 2 Cent coin & it's in AWESOME condition! Following on that was the other button & then my 1st 18xx Draped Bust! Last find of the day was this 1863 CW Token.

Took some shots of an old abandonded RR cut that was in the area as well.

Can't wait to see what else pops up here!

HH,
Roger

is that a Confederate token?? the Bust matches the Confederate 1 cent coin... sweet finds!! MR TUFF

Thanks! That would be one AWESOME find for sure but it says "Army & Navy" on the back.

The 2 Cent has more bronze in it and does well in dirt.
I found one last week at the waters edge and was i good shape . nice digs .
