I spent about two hours in a Middle School Ballfield with my four year old.I came across a heavily green petina coin.Wasn't sure what it was at first.I cleaned it under the water faucet.I still couldn't figure out what I had.It was soaking in olive oil for the last 3 days.Finally I noticed the word token on the back.i thought it was a game room token at first but this had a much larger diameter.I next saw the word Montreal,and the words UN SOU in the center of a wreath.I did some research on line and found a picture that matched perfectly.I now have it soaking in baking soda and vinegar.Research says it is a 1837 or 1838 Canadien token.If this is true it is my oldest find to date.
