Today's Hunt. 1837 Hard Times Token, silver rosie, NYPD button, and wheaties

I got out today for almost 4 hours. Same place I got the three silver quarters at the last hunt. Once again I took the Musketeer and dug mostly coin signals. It took a couple hours before I found the rosie along with a wheatie in the same hole. The N.Y.P.D P.O.D button was a iffy signal. The back is hard to read, but I can make out Scovil. The coolest find is the 1837 Hard Times Token. The better looking one is just for comparision. Did'nt dig that one. Also eight wheaties with the oldest being 1940-D. I got my fix and now feel better. My buddies and I are scheduled to relic hunt on Sunday. Hope the weather gods permit it.
Happy Hunting,
Mike in NJ

Nice finds. Glad you were able to get out.

Really like the old political token. That's a tough one!

Thanks everyone. My buddy and I are going back in the a.m. Letchas' know how we do. The political token was definitely a surprising find. It seems it was a anti-Van Buren token.
Referring to Andrew Jackson, President Martin Van Buren stated in his inaugural address that, “I follow in the steps of my illustrious predecessor.” This anti-Van Buren token shows a running jackass surrounded by the above quotation.
