Just another perfect day to be out again! Light breezes, clear sky and a warm temperature requiring only a light jacket. I headed out to an old area, where I have found some nice coins and relics before. Today was another successful hunt......including my oldest coin (colonial token) ever! Also found a nice piece of petrified wood. I cleaned it up and put a light coating of olive oil on it to bring out the colors. A 1950 Chauffeurs Badge was a real surprise too!

Here's my oldest coin ever. A Britanica 1775 Half Cent. It was probably used as coinage (token) as there was no official Canadian Coinage available yet. (first years was 1858 for pennies, Nickels, Dimes....)

Here's a turning knob of some sort with a knurled edge. Letters stamped "CWC" and a small broken threaded stem remaining. CWC= Cold Water Control or Cool Weather Clustering or California Writers Club......:rofl:

And the remaining "better" coins. I also dug multiple coins in the 40's and 50's.
 
Excellent finds, John. I finnally got out for 2 hours yesterday in my chest waders and got skunked. Didn't even find a penny, but it was great to get out. About 5 feet from the place you get out of the water, I found a syringe with the needle missing and I figured it come off when I scooped it up. Reminded me to be very careful on land and in the water. An alligator hunter harvested a 12 foot gator about 5 miles from where I go water detecting and I had my eyes open. You had an excellent day with great weather and that's what is so wonderful about our hobby and you never know what is under your coil and a coin from 1775 would really make my day. HH.
