Greetings guys,
I went back to a field where I found an old key recently. It was tough digging... as I had my big coil on there, and the recently cleared land had blueberry plants, or something. (imagine a sturdy vertical twig obstructing your swing path... everywhere!)
I found this standard issue button, probably 30's or 40's.
Also, an old Vicky. 1893 Queen Victoria Canadian penny.
But this one, this one has me baffled.
There is potential for colonial relics in the area. I am hoping one of you can help me identify this coin or token. It is much larger than a large cent. It rang up as a solid 12-46 on the Etrac at 7-8 inches down. It's holed. but I do see a rim and some letters. There is a cannon? or a pillar there. One side is completely toasted...
I am out of peroxide at the moment. I will give it a soak tomorrow and repost a cleaner picture.
Thanks for your help, and happy hunting!
