Handfuls of *OLD* Coins, Buttons and Relics

[john37115]

My son Caleb and I decided to take a little detecting vacation up to Canada to visit my friends Donny and Arthur. We stayed a week and got in about 60-70 hours each swinging a coil. Donny and Arthur put us on some hot-spots for sure. We mostly hunted farm fields and a little in parks. I still can't believe the amount of old sites there. We found some great finds and had some great guy time. I have took lots of pictures and I hope you all enjoy.

I found one of those Bank of Montreal half Penny Tokens a few weeks ago, and I wish it was in HALF as good condition as yours.

Coingrats!

Wow, John - these are incredible! Looks like some of those buckles, pipe stems and maybe the little bells could date back to fur trade days. I am SO jealous! WTG!

Thanks, I wish we could find the really old stuff this plentiful here in Tennessee. Your the first to notice the pipe stems-- I think they are so cool. I had heard about them but had never seen them until my first trip to Canada.

Wow!! GREAT FINDS!!
Congrats on a very successful week!!

Thanks RR! How have you been?

 

[john37115]

Do you know what the one relic is in the picture with the bells?

I'm not sure I first thought it was a kids toy top but I really have no idea

 

[HolyDiver]

Wow, awesome array of finds!

 

[john37115]

Absolutely fantastic finds! That pewter button is beautiful. You need to research that one a bit, perhaps it is of some significance. I'll see what I can find in my reference books.

Thanks Ed, I think it might be a War of 1812 Rifleman's button but I'm not sure. There is no visible backmark.

Wow, awesome array of finds!

Thanks HolyDiver
