Found a few coins today. The 1901 is in great shape. The last coin I found thats in the pics. I had no idea about it. then after only a little research I found it to be from The Scovill Manufacturing Company of Waterbury, Connecticut produced around 1860. I can now make out what it says on the one side. "If anyone attempts to tear it down/ shoot him on the spot/ DIX. Great first day out since the thaw. The spot I got these from has produced a lot of Indians and large cents and is definitely a older 1800,s site.

im not saying it was easy digging but it wasn't bad. the Nox 800 did me right.
 

You guys in the US are fortunate to have many tokens that were produced in the 19th & 20thc. :hello2:
I'd spend hours researching these to learn everything about their history.

Love the detail on this hair clip too. :thumbsup:
