Slim Pickens' but a Blast from the Past!

Got out for an hour this morning to a well hunted site and managed to coax a few more targets.. One of the first targets I ever got when I started over 10 years ago was a Starr and Shannon token in barely recognizable condition...this one is much better...

Awwww, a old friend. Love getting those items that turn your memory to the first time you found one, especially if it was one of your first finds. Congrats on another great looking token.
 

Nice one! Is it the thick or thin flan? (what's the weight)
 

I've got the same one too but much toastier....nice one!
 

Real great turn around for a hour's work And 1815 is a big deal.
 

Freakin' Awesome, Romeo-1,
My Great X5 Grandfather, Captain Benjamin Ellenwood, was a wealthy Canadian Privateer during the War of 1812, and lived in Halifax. He was murdered by one of his sailors there in 1815 while carrying $35,000 to purchase a new ship at the wharf! I am sure he KNEW Starr and Shannon! Great hunt, congrats, Sub 8-)

You should see the other side...a sailing ship....you like those, right?
 

Very well done. The token is just killer. I also like the crotal bell. I have yet to find a bell, so I really like them! Congrats.
