Canada Militia button and a big old copper.

[GioTheGreek]

I had a quick hunt today.

Canada Militia button (1870's I believe)



1838 Nova Scotia Trade and Navigation Penny...



And plenty of nails...

Happy hunting.

Nice find. Is it white metal and brass or all brass?

Good finds...I found one of the T&N tokens a couple weeks ago. You must be hunting a plowed field...

Nice find GioTheGreek!

 

[GioTheGreek]

Yes, I believe it's brass.

They were found on my buddy's grandparents' front lawn. We hunted two massive fields behind the place and we found nothing but bullets. Then we hunt their pretty lawn and find some old stuff.

Edit: Oops, wrong quote. I meant to quote Romeo.

Nice finds, the soils are pretty hard on the finds even in the lawns.

Indeed. It's not often that I find a copper in great shape.

If it's all brass, I believe they were only made one year (1883). It might be a rare find.

 

[GioTheGreek]

I gave it another cleaning. Definitely not brass.

Thanks for the information, cwhunter!
