This is a antique 1842 Bank of Montreal Canada Coin Token.

The woods are a better place to hunt.

The coins are in a pretty good condition for things coming out of the ground :icon_thumright:. Old tokens are one of my most favourite finds. This one is very beautiful.
 

Some really nice pieces there!
The Bank Token is Awesome!
Keep 'em Comin'
 

Good score on the oldies, and Silver, on such a short hunt.

That makes about 5 or 6 I think, 2 centers found since april. Been kinda keeping track as I found one myself this spring, same year as yours, but more worn.

It will be cooling off soon.
