[HEAVYMETALNUT]

went on a few hour hunt with ron (rcat) today.not much in the finds dept.2 flat buttons and this token. has a reeded edge and still has some plating on it.it's old and just curious if anyone can tell me anything about it? how old? i thought for sure it was a hard times token.almost same size as large cent in pic
it reads MAJ GENERAL WINFIELD SCOTT USA(above bust)
below bust small letters E.W.HAYDEN SC

on reverse at top SCOTT WOUNDED
bottom reads LUNDY LANE

ron got a similiar token but has a ship on each side but has a plain edge and no plating.found 5 feet from mine.

That's cool that you got an Old Fuss and Feathers token.

I wonder if it's a campaign token of some sort. It could be a GREAT find... I'm going to try and find out something about it.


Very cool that it still has some plating on it.

Aha! Found the exact one:

http://historical.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=86101&Lot_No=90321&src=pr

It sold at auction for $31.00, non-dug.

Your medal is from 1852. It should measure 28mm in diameter.

Not a bad day out at all when you end up with an 1850's token

Many of those political tokens were plated. Diggergirl's 1860 Election Abraham Lincoln campaign token was originally gold plated--and it was also made with a hole in it to begin with. (Many others were made holed, too)

Always worth investigating.

We've ALL been there before. But the great news is the more we dig, and the more we see posted online, the fewer roller coasters.
