About time I post something! Did a couple hunts this month.First site I went to was about 3 weeks ago.Its a site that Ive pulled a dozen LC's and some nice relics in the past.Within 5 minutes of getting there I snagged this first for me a 1837 habitant token! Its crusty but I would take it anyday

Today I didnt know where I was headed to, so I decided to visit an old site that I havent been to in about 3 years or so.After stopping in to see the land owner i hit the site running.Finds were slim and the hunt was hard as it was mostly a wooded area. I did manage a 1952 quarter which I offered to the owner as a souvenir,he seemed quite happy.I then told him now I have to go find myself another coin
Then bam these poped out along with many pennies from the 60's
1918 quarter

Yours is awesome lovely patina and to answer Jim bob450
A Habitant Token -- another token with strong symbolism for French-Canadians, this token portrays a Canadian habitant in traditional winter clothing. The reverse showed the arms of the city of Montreal with the name of one of the four participating banks on the ribbon (City Bank, Quebec Bank, La Banque du Peuple, and Bank of Montreal.In the beginning they were called Papineau token after Louis Papineau a politician.
