Cool old find for today!!

BFR · Apr 10, 2023

Got out for 2 hours today. After finding a modern quarter, a memorial, a trashed wheatie, a what I think is a lock plate, I found something really cool.

I was on my way back to the car when I got a little squeak. About 8 inches down I found this 1860's civil war union token.

Thanks for looking

''I was on my way back to the car''
We shorted this phase that happens a lot to us as OTWBTTC. :thumbsup:

(Why is it that sometimes the best find works out that way?!)

After being buried for that long, I am happy with the condition.

Congratulations on the token, I am curious about the lock plate, I found one just like it and always wondered what it could be. Did you find any other info on it? Thanks.

I did not. I was guessing at lock plate.
