Got to like spring

[pepperj]

I was planning for a Sunday hunt, then it was Saturday because of the incoming weather. Well I looked this morning and I was out the door as it's going to be a wet one for 6 days.
So I thought of a cellar hole I have permission to, and I hit with pretty good results last year.
The hay/grass was the issue so thinking that the winter packed down the grass I returned to see if I could sniff out a few keepers.
I was treated by a big copper which turned out to be pretty sweet If I my say so myself.
Then came the first silver from this site and it was in the iron as well.
A buckle gave me another smile.
Then came yet another copper being a large cent.
Getting late so I'm just throwing this post together or it never happen.

I just love these One Penny Tokens



1853 dime


The buckle and the 1845 One Cent





Have cross a little water to get onto the site.
Really keeps the trash off the site.


And who can forget the reason good things come up once in a while, get the iron out.

You're definitely on an early Upper Canada Loyalist settlement site there buddy!
I never get tired of seeing early US coins being found north of the border, reminds me of those who helped settle our great country!

"Loyalists were American colonists, of different ethnic backgrounds, who supported the British cause during the American Revolution (1775–83). Tens of thousands migrated to British North America during and after the revolutionary war — boosting the population and heavily influencing the politics and culture of what would become Canada. As American rebels fought for independence from Britain, Loyalists supported the "mother country" for different reasons. Many felt a personal loyalty to the Crown or were afraid that revolution would bring chaos to America. Many agreed with the rebels’ view that America had suffered wrongs at the hands of Britain but believed the solution could be worked out within the British Empire.

Others saw themselves as weak or threatened within American society and in need of an outside defender. These included linguistic and religious minorities, recent immigrants not fully integrated into American society, as well as Black and Aboriginal people. Others were simply attracted by free land and provisions. Sympathy for the Crown was a dangerous sentiment; those who defied the revolutionary forces could find themselves without civil rights, subject to mob violence, or flung into prison. Loyalist property was vandalized and often confiscated. During the Revolution more than 19,000 Loyalists served Britain in specially created provincial militia corps, accompanied by several thousand Aboriginal allies. Others spent the war in such strongholds as New York City and Boston, or in refugee camps such as those at Sorel and Machiche, Québec. Between 80,000 and 100,000 eventually fled, about half of them to Canada."

The '45 LC, the '53 Seated & the '54 U.C. One Penny are all great finds my friend!

There are sites we hunt in the bahamas that are also loyalist plantation ruins. Many fled to the bahamas to flee persecution.

I love those big 1P also, and that is a real nice one. I would say the best you can expect out of dirt. Is the soil sandy ?

We're in a full ugly winter storm right now. Ice pellets mixed with freezing rain to a depth of 1" but they've forecasted another 10-12" of the mix.

Actually it was right out of heavy clay, which surprised me even more.

Anytime you'd like, that's if you can afford our gas prices up here.

I wanna do it, I'll PM ya when I get settled in

Just not for a week or so, it looks like the middle of winter outside again.

Just PM me when you'd be able to in the future and hopefully it'll be pre/post/ of crop, calving, pasturing of cattle (throw the blood suckers into the mix also) season.
Which leaves the stressed feeling of so much land and a postage stamp of time to cover them all.

I have 5-6000 acres of permissions around my area to hunt so there's always an option while the grounds are soft.

Beautiful finds! That One Penny sure looks great. Congrats!

 

[Steve in PA]

That One Penny Token is really sweet. And there you go digging US seated silver and I can't find any down here in the States!

At least it wasn't burnt from the soils as many that come out. Best of luck when the weather clears for your next hunt.
