Great hunt. A lot of good targets. Love the token...anything on that flattened penny? So does this mean your silver total is now up to 3? :thinkingabout:

Those are some really interesting finds! You are really doing well with the Indian Head Cents! For some reason it took me 30+ years of detecting to find a 1916 Mercury Dime, and you got one already!

I really like the "Good For One Loaf" token too. Is there anything on the other side of it?

Congrats on the very successful hunt! :clapping:

Good question. Looks like it might be a Canadian nickel?

I forgot about those older canadian nickels. I did notice the flat sides almost making it look like a polygon shape and I knew of only a few like that. Gibraltar's coin has more pronounced sides and is quite a bit larger..like half dollar size. I know of one other European country with a smaller coin with flat sides (but it escapes me at the moment). The bust looks like it was a 20th century from... england? Now you know why I was confused? lol.
