Another Canada trade token !! NICE !!

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

Found this token yesterday near a very old house site. Only a bairly noticeable impression in the ground now.
I only had 45 min. to hunt and dug alot of bullets. The iron wheels are neat.
The token was only down about 3" and rang in loud and clear. At first I was not sure what I had found. All excited at first I said Large Cent then noticed a reeded edge..... Amazing condition right out of the ground !!! Anyway, this is the second Canadian trade token I have found in the last few weeks.

The last two pics are of the first one that I found a few weeks ago at a totaly different spot.

That is by far the best Sou I have seen dug, they're usually toast. There's a pile of varieties of these.

Very nice Bouquet Sou!

I found one a few weeks back and it is a different variety.

Mine was toast and I noticed right away how much lighter it is then a large cent.

Civilman1,
Banks stopped accepting them in 1837, and they were minted in the mid 1830s.

Here are some after pics. I think the short soak in peroxide did the trick.
