Found Some 1800's Coins - Silver & Tokens

Been real busy at work and around our Daughter's wedding over the last few weeks - but I was still able to get out and hunt the yards around a few 1800's homes.

Found the 1854 - "Bank Of Upper Canada - Half Penny Token" in the front yard of a house that was built in 1861.
I found this Token with my 4.5" x 7" Excellerator Coil ( at a measured 9" ) - the target ID #'s danced around but kept coming back to FE (12)- CO (47) - these little coils are fantastic !
I've posted close up photo's of the token I found - along with photo's of a similar token that I found on the internet.

The 1864 dated - Civil War Store Card has - "Connely's New York Store - Brazil - Indiana" on it.

The 1834 - Large Cent is pretty toasted - but the date is still easy to read.

Both the 1912 - V - Nickel and the 1937 - Buffalo Nickel's are in real nice condition.

The 1867 - 1992 - double dated Canadian Dime was minted for Canada's 125th Anniversary in 1992 - this dime is made of - 100% Nickel.

Good Hunting !
 
Wow... that's a nice collection there, Congrats on an awesome hunt.
 
Great stuff. I'm still waiting for my dang 8x6 SEF to come in. I hope I can keep the depth I've been getting with the stock coil.

I think it will be decent.... I have dug more than a few at 7 to 8 inches deep with the 6x8 and that's pretty deep considering it's size. I really like it because I don't lose much depth and I can still cover some ground with it.
