Incredible shape tokens, from 1859.

[Vino]

I hit a old permission I have yesterday. I was only at this place one time before. At that time i only had my first detector then. It was a house built in 1780s. Never found anything there last year.
So i figured what the hell, I know there was alot of iron there.
So yesterday i crack out the deus and went at it for 2 hours.
I found nothing real old, but i had fun.. These tokens were about 6inches down a hit like a LC or nice silver.. Let me tell you, the condition there in is mind boggling. If there WAS a old copper in there it would be in great condition .. Oh well, thats how it goes sometimes. .AHABE can tell you that..LOL.
Also found 2 merks, a silver dime from the Netherlands, horse rosette, and a silver bracelet.
The tokens were from a umbrella and sun shade company that started in 1849 in Philadelphia. .I have to check but this could've been his house?
Enjoy the pics.

Congrats George on some super nice finds! Now it is time for you to get all of that Iron out of the ground there to see what it has been hiding.
