It has been slow and rough searching this old 1800's side walk. I must of dug a whole box of nails by now. lol :D I managed to hunt up an 1885 Indian head that is in rough shape. The rim is rough but everything else is clear. I pulled an axe head! This was a very cool relic find. It makes you really think of the times. If a shop owner today had an axe in front of his store it would make the news for sure! ;D Or at least cause a law suit. Lastly, my favorite is a 1852 Quebec Bank Token, One Penny. It has a hole in it but I have seen a lot of pics with this coin drilled. Very cool! Thanks for looking. :headbang:

Thanks everyone! :hello2: Yes this sidewalk has been real good to me. I wish it would of been a little nicer to the IH pennies I took from it. I have a couple more surprises from the old walk as soon as I get my camera back. A couple more silvers and coppers maybe...... :wink:
