Old tokens and coins

[K1DDO1979]

Went hiking and came across some new cellar hole sites. Both were horrible with long grass but it's going to be great next spring when it's all down. I focused my time on one that had some swing able sections and ended up with some decent finds for the conditions. The best finds were two 1832 Nova Scotia half penny tokens, fairly rare 1815 magdalen island one penny token, 1859 Canada one cent and a 1854 New Brunswick one penny. The 1815 and 1854 coins are huge. The soil wasn't kind but hoping some silver lurking around somewhere. By my old maps there should be many more cellar hole to also find in the area. Also found a spoon, winder, round balls and the other usual stuff. Thanks for looking! [emoji2]


This is what the 1815 magdalen island token would have looked like....

Excellent hunt. That's a load of nice copper even if the ground wasn't nice to it. I had to look up the Magdalen Islands piece, heck I had to look up the islands. Thats a excellent find. Here's a link for evreyone else: Coin Value: Token: Canada Magdalen Islands One Penny 1815

The Magdalen Islands is a good find. Just a shame the few I've seen posted are so poor for condition.

Hopefully another will turn up down there and be in better condition. All these coins came from close to the shoreline. Maybe farther in when the grass goes the soil will be a bit better.

I heard a few people on here found one before. To bad they couldn't post them on here to see the conditions. I am trying a oil soak because I think it can't make things any worse. Got a picture of yours?

I found some nice photos of a really nice one. $9000 I think...

It would interesting to see what condition one of these tokens would be like if dug further west away from the sea.
Congrats on popping the token not many ever posted up.

Nothing worth seeing really, just an example , mines worn and corroded, ,,

Knowing me I'll have to give it another shot even with the grass. Long hiking journey though.
