Today's Outing

Woohoo, finally something to post! While out today at an early to mid 1800's homestead, I found a 1857 Bank of Upper Canada One Penny token. Please see the other item I found, posted in the "What is it" section also.

Agreed, I wish my tokens came out like that. Being on a ploughed fields does have its down sides as well. I often look at the nice complete buckles from the late Georgian period & tokens/coins coming from the US/Canadian Woods or grassland & think maybe I will give it a go.

From the land of the Bluenose.....those are such regal looking coins. Great shape. Have found a few this way but the acidity in the soil is not kind to coppers! Happy hunting!

Re: Today's Outing

The buckle/clip thingy looks to be older than your token. I agree, those two items are in great condition and it doesn't look like the typical Eastern Canadian dug up stuff.
What part of Canada do you hail from? Regardless, Welcome to T-Net!
Nice finds!

The brass piece is part of gun mid 1700's to very early 1800's. A cool piece, and that coin came out really nice.
