How’d You Like to See The Oldest Coin I Ever Found?

I like how the grass is flat after 3 months of snow packing. The great thaw has occurred, turf is in perfect hunt and plug mode.
Pounded a new permission, guys lawn was loaded with coins, mostly wheats and a few silvers..old nickels too.

Also got onto a previous ok, got deep with the Maxx, and wait, what?

Ok, so it’s not a coin, but a token....a Hard Times Token! :headbang:

1834! I don’t see a hole in it at all, so fuggedaboudit.

Never expected to find one, hard enough time for me to find a LC.

Finally, I squeaked out a few IHP’s all green and pretty.... but there a secret mixed in the stash.

One old Indian was very crusty, didn’t make an effort to ID a date for a week. Get my toothpick out.... 186.....4.....!!! Omg, be careful.
Yup 1864 ....WITH THE “L”. It’s there on the ribbon, might be the best coin I’ve ever found.

Thanks for looking! :hello:

Killer permission BWD! Nice assortment of coins to boot. Those IHP's are in great shape. Congrats on the Hard Times token. I've only ever found one, and it was in pretty awful shape. Yours looks quite nice!
