Hey TNetters... I think this may be my first time actually posting my finds here :) My hunting partner and I have been doing quite well at an old ghost town this season, and Friday was certainly no exception. Found my 2 oldest coins to date :) A couple of pre-confederation Canadian commercial tokens.

This first one seems fairly uncommon, as most feedback I've had from others is that they've never seen one before :) Though... not really valuable by any means.

The seconds is one I've been hoping to find for quite a while :) Not in great shape, but I'll take it!

Also managed a couple silvers... 18?? Canadian quarter (very worn) and a 1900 Canadian dime.

Thanks for looking!

good looking stuff!
 

Man those are some AWESOME tokens! Too bad you forgot to mention the victorian dime and quarter! This site will give up some Big OLD SILVER soon!!!
 

they were mentioned, just didn't bother with the pics :D and yes... there will be big silver in our near future!
