Spanish silver, dandy button, awesome presidential token!

[cjon455]

Met up with George today at one if his old old spots for a few hours. This place, according to him gives up at least 1 good find per hunt even though it's been beaten to death by numerous hunters. Well today I made at least 3 really good finds there! Got a cool presidential token, Got a sweet 1700s gold gilted dandy button, a small sterling religious medallion and the find of the day spanish half reale! Gonna be tough to get a date on this one but we think it's in the 1780s time frame, likely carolous III. thanks again george, much appreciated! Thanks for looking and hh!!! Check out what a little naval jelly did to the button and token!

Congrats on the finds. I found a Harrison token on my first hunt of this year back in March. Completely different from yours. As Don in SJ stated in his reply in my thread... this guy must have spent a fortune in campaign tokens.

thanks evo!, I was doubting the age of that token because of the gold like appearance, I'm not good at aging items though

Wow Awesome finds! Congrats. These political tokens people are finding are making me super jealous i really need to find one! The naval jelly really worked on these ones for sure. How much did you use on them?

Great old finds you dug there.

I really like the button and token. Beautiful condition. Very nice..

I voted banner on the campaign token, because it is rare and that patina is beautiful, and it is worth so much more than dirty pennies.

Thanks!, I knew the button had gilt underneath the dirt, but the token was a shocker, just a little water aND a toothpick uncovered it a bit, then I hit it with naval jelly

 

[deershed]

I would say this hunt qualifies as a Killer hunt!! Awesome finds!!
