Here are the last couple hunts worth of goodies. I found the Red Goose token, the War Nik and 1926 D merc at a local park during my lunch breaks.

Last evening I did a bit of doorknocking in an old town and also hit up a public spot and got the 1907 Canadian LC, both 1902 Indians, the 1964 Washington and 1943 merc. The find of the night came along a sidewalk and turned out to be a rather nice 1850 Bank of Upper Canada Half Penny Token. It still has a bit of crud on it but I think if I give it another peroxide bath and toothpick at it then it might clean up really nice....I hope anyway. There is a knight on a horse slaying a dragon on this coin...kinda cool!

Excellent Canada token! Yeah, a little more peroxide and a toothpick may remove a tad more of the crud. I use similar methods on cleaning my older stuff. Just be careful to check every 5-10 minutes between soakings or the H202 can start pitting the coin.

very nice finds, love the token and large cent! The shoe token is pretty cool too, and those indians look like they have very little wear. Congrats on all the great finds!

I think the slogan on the token is playful and love it too. Congrats on all the keepers!
