3.5 Year old scores a Early TOKEN?

[Sniffy]

So today was father/son day..And I couldn't think of a better activity than metal detecting. So I took him on a grueling hike up a MT to a spot I've been peckin away at (Most of the hike was him on my back choking me). This site is very quiet now, I've done a pretty good job of covering every square foot for the most part....Today I decided to focus in an area outside the wall perimeter, only this time I let my son help me....I let him wear the headphones while I slowly gridded off the area...(I could hear the signals) So we get a nice screwcap/penny signal at 4-6 inches...I thought it was another button for sure, but we dug down and I let him use the vibraprobe...it was in the plug! He was on his own....He fooled around a bit until the pinpointer buzzed and he spotted it...."DADDY A COPPER!" "DADDY I FOUND MY FIRST COPPER!"...he was so proud of himself...I really wish I had a camera in the field...but here's the pics I took at home. It was so cool....on the way out he says "Thanks for the copper woods!"

sounds like a great day out, Sniffy.
congrats on the two coppers.
did you, perchance, tempt your son with chocolate sometime in the interim?

I think thats a Canadian trade and navigation type token. IP will know.

There so many ship coins and tokens but I don't think it's Canadian, at least nothing that's coming to mind.

Sniff we need some hints. I see a word at the top starting with "C," by chance is it Company or Commerce? Is there anything at all on the other side?

Cool Deal!!! Good to see you have the patience to hunt with the youngster. Most kids his age don't have a great attention span. Like taking them fishing; if nothing's caught in the first few minutes, they are ready to move on to some other activity. Keep it up and HH.

That's a very good hint.

It's most likely "Success to Commerce" and since I don't think it's Canadian, even though that appears on many tokens, I think it's from a British Halfpenny. I see an ID in the near future.

PS... I just searched and there is very few hits, so those words might be different. I'm trying to do a couple things at one right now so my concentration is a little wacky. I'll check back in a bit to see if anyone nailed it.

Yeap. It's hard to chew gum and walk at the same time.

Awesome research IP. Been watching this thread to see what it is. I'm sure you will get this one soon.
