colonials and large coppers

[leslie(nova scotia)]

Hit the fields today to try out my early Xmas present.....a new shovel. Was solo on this very windy and cold day.


Two and a half hours yielded a 1907 Brit half penny, Victorian pre confed token (date unknown), large cent (toasty) and a 1855 P.E.I. self government and free trade token...readable.

Did the lemon juice thingie but coins a tad toasty.

I think its safe to say you broke in the new shovel. Great finds!

lemon juice is for your fish and chips not your coppers ole buddy
I think they taste fine just the way they are without it lol
I also like your musket sling buckle, nice relic

Great hunt. Wish i could get out at all but I’m so busy with work. I pretty much only use lemon juice on old buttons,etc. finds that may have remaining gilt and thats about it.

I’d say that sling buckle is about the coolest thing for me.... And that ain’t no lemon!
