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!

Good hunt for sure, the gilt on the large button is unusual, so cherish that special button. I have the identical Harrison token and one other Harrison token, mine is about same condition as yours, when I first saw mine in the dirt pile I thought I had a gold coin, so it actually was a disappointment at the time when I realized it was "just a token".

thanks don, at 1st I thought it was a cruddy 190s token, then that date popped and all that gold like gilt, I was surprised to say the least!

Well done Chris!
