Low Mintage Barber Dime and Giant Canadian Bank Token!!

[grasshopper]

Back at a late 1700s farmhouse the other day, playing around with some settings on the Deus II. Been here a bunch of times before over the years.

Managed to pull an 1896-S Barber Dime in really nice condition. I believe it is the 3rd lowest mintage in the barber dime catalog. The following day I went back and got the 1837 One Penny Bank Token. Somehow I must have walked over this thing 20 times. I've found the smaller halfpenny version before...this thing is massive!!

I've found a few of the different types of Canadian Bank Tokens over the years.
Yours is in better condition than any of mine.

Very nice finds grasshopper. That Canadian bank token is gigantic! Did it blow your ears off?
Congrats on a productive hunt!

Great looking 1 Penny, the soils were very kind.
Dug a few over the years, though the 1/2 Penny are more common.
Just to put it perspective this was from a days hunt a few years back.
Just one 1/2 & a single 1 Penny.
This is the average condition also.
So yours is top self.

Surprisingly...it didn't blow my ears off. I was messing around with the Deep HC program and it was just a repeatable, normal-sounding high tone in an area I've covered quite a few times. Ended up being about 8 or 9 inches deep. Probably never even heard it with the normal sensitive/fast programs I've used in the past.
