1837 Canadian Bank Token

[Keith / Kirkpa / Steelers1985]

RP, Zoyboy, and I got out tonight for a short hunt. I used my Shooter DD coil and it still keeps working wonders. About an hour into our hunt, I got a nice "Half" dollar reading that pinpointed at 4". I was starting to get excited, since I knew this had to be something good. I dug down to 4" and that was when I saw the coin. I picked it up and started to rub at it. It was the size of a large cent, but I could not identify any features at the time. So, I put it in my pouch and continued hunting. After that, I found 3 Wheaties.
Zoyboy found a 1903 Indian Head. He made his find evident by yelling out, "Crazy Injun, injun, I say." He also found 4 Wheaties. RP found 4 Wheaties, a 1936 Sterling silver spoon, and a "Good For 5 Cents in Trade" token.
We decided to end the hunt and go back to RP's place to check our finds out. After further cleaning of the large coin, we could finally make out some features. After researching the coin on the internet, I had finally known what I had found. It turned out to be an 1837 Canadian "Half Penny" Bank Token.
