Howdy everyone. I found this token about a month ago. Being from nw ct were in a ice age and the ground is so frozen I would need dynamite to do any digging. This is the first token i have ever found and it gets better, it's a civil war federal token! I have never seen one before. I found in the middle of an old wagon rd that I started working at the end of November there's a bunch of cellar holeswhere I found a of and a fatty 1860 Indian head penny but I didn't find this object near any of them. Maybe it was dropped by an old stage coach. Who knows but it makes me wonder

Nice Indian head and large cent. It's a little hard to see the token. Perhaps you can enlarge it some.

WTG on the token find! Looks like you found a great site there! Now we just need the ground to thaw out so we can do more detecting up here.

Uh that token isn't this one is it? Had to grab my Redbook. Looked familiar

I need to get a better pic it's hard because it's in really rough shape. It's very similar to the one in your picture except the tails side says army and navy and what I can see of the year I believe it's 1863

Thanks for adding that. I found it online and added a picture so everyone can see what it looks like. Great find

[jewelerguy]

great find. civil war tokens and store cards are really cool pieces of history

 

[RelicDude]

I wonder if some one made it into a piece of jewelery with the two holes being punched into it. Thanks for taking a look every one hh

Looks like you have a great place to hunt. Now all you need is some of that global warming to kick in. Out here in western Oregon we've had our obligatory two weeks of 25 degree weather, the has fog lifted, I saw my shadow, and now we'll have 6 more weeks of rain and gooey mud. Our ground is usually only really good for digging for 10 minutes a year, and that occurs about 1:AM in June. It's like concrete in the summer time, and too thick to drink in the winter, but we work around it. Love your token, your ground will thaw, think of the good stuff that's waiting for you to pass the coil over.
