Half Dozen Buttons, and a first NB Token (of this type)

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

Got out for a couple of hours with ND.
Targets sparce, but again just lucky to find a spot.
Got a half dozen buttons out of the iron, and not all plain flats.
And a first for me of this New Brunswick half penny token.





"FOR PUBLIC ACCOMODATION"



"ST. JOHN NEW BRUNSWICK...HALF PENNY TOKEN"

And not totally toast ! Cool.
Not a bad day, and temps were very nice.

Right on Rick!
If you can find a small handful of buttons and a coin or two you didn't strike out!
Keep an eye open for a hay field , I've been known to follow a trail of fresh hay on the edge of a road all the way back to a nicely mowed field, it's about the best a fella can do some days in the summer

Nothing wrong with adding a new token. Still on the long list of what i still have not dug yet too.

Love that ship design on your token Rick. Glad you were able to get out and scrounge up a few finds.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Your space hunt is a nice hunt! I would love finding any one of those! Congrats all nice finds!

The button loops are still there and not flattened! Token is very cool!

Really cool token. I'll google the history on it since you were too lazy to provide a link [emoji1]. I hope to see more great finds from you this summer.

Ohh Man you caught me ..I am lazy, but today I was in squirrell mode, chopping, and splitting wood mode for the next coming winter.

I'll tell you this the token was anonymously made, and that there is a variety of a mispelling of "St, John's" that there are two know of.............too bad I didn't find that one, and then I would have provided more info....
