Knickerbocker Currency- Civil War Money

[cannonball]

The other day I discovered an interesting new site. It covers a large area and seems to be from early 1800s to about 1870. First coin up was a 1 cent Knickerbocker currency used in the Civil War and became illegal after the war. Also found was a part or a powder flask, flying eagle cent, 1863 IH, and a silver spoon (New York silversmith 1818-1838). I prefer older sites but this one is fun!!!

Nice finds cannonball. Like the coins, Knickerbocker Currency, and the silver spoon. But the relics are pretty good too.

A Knickerbocker civil war token, very, very nice find. I collect civil war tokens. I have not ever found a civil war token with my detector.

Great Find!
