Hello All,

I was out hitting this latest field a bit more and had a bucket lister silver come up! Catch the video here:

BUCKET LIST SILVER

I nabbed several good civil war bullets, including a nice Bartholow and a little colt .44 army which was nose down in the dirt.

Got yet another 1800s railroad lock. Unfortunately the hasp is broken off, and that would’ve had the railroad line/name in initials, but I’m sure it’s somewhere in the field.

then all of a sudden out flopped a large silver coin—or so I thought. It read 7-8 numbers lower than a silver quarter but it had a reeded edge so I was convinced it was my second seated quarter from this field…
When I cleaned it off I was shocked. It’s a gorgeous love token likely made from a seated quarter and beautifully engraved! I’ve wanted to dig one of these for so long!

Last of all I got a weird coin I’ve never dug, nor even seen before. It’s a copper nickel 5 Centisimos dated 1909 from Uruguay. Here’s a non dug version and the one I found lying on top of the ground where it had washed out.

I love that love token....the seated years were prominent for the making of these tokens. Sweet ole reic of love.
So true! Thanks my friend and good to see you’re active on the forum still! So many of the old crew are gone. :(
 

That's definitely one of the nicer ones I've seen posted, great piece!
That would be a daymaker if I ever saw one! Super find BB!
I agree my friend, seems like most of these are made from dime sized host coins. I also like that all three of the first set of initials are listed. And also nice that it’s engraved both sides instead of just one. Good to see ya buddy!
 

Congratulations on the LT ..apparently "RB" wasn't very careful with that token. Hopefully it's in better hands now !!

Nice Save 🤙

Many thanks! I’m glad RB dropped it and it’s awesome that the loop is still intact (chain broke) :)
 

Incredible 'labor of love' relic. That engraving is just super, congrats!
Thanks so much my friend, I’m totally floored by how personal this relic is, and how much it was cherished
 

Congrats on a very nice bucket list find! Love tokens are a cool piece of personal history. Way up on my to find list. Enjoy the videos you post. Haven't seen Shane on any in a while. Hope all is well.
 

It's pretty cool when you finally dig something you have wanted to dig for a while!!! Congrats!!!! Very nice example!!!!
Thanks my friend, after 3 decades that bucket list is getting a lot shorter. This one is really special.

Hello my good friend! Yeah he had a series of surgeries and has been out for nearly a year now trying to recover. He *may* be able to finally return to dig with me again this fall. I miss him.

I hope he makes a full recovery so he can get back to the cane fields with ya.

Me too buddy. Time will tell, and I could use the company. It’s just not as fun when my wife can’t go!
