Finally a decent day in Ohio, I went out for the first time in over 6 weeks, I have been suffering from a very painful Sciatica attack and it is just now easing off. I was able to do an hour and believe me that was enough…hopefully soon I can go longer. Went to a new site for the first time and it looks promising, Diane got some buckles and a Buggy Shaft end, I got some bits and two coins, a 1904 Indian and a Large Copper! The Copper was quite worn and it took a bit of cleaning before I could ID it a 1844 Bank of Montreal Half Penny Token! I felt pleased that I found some keepers, it seems so long!

It's nice to see a post from you, Tony! I hope your health continues to improve until you're good as new.

Congrats on the nice old finds. Some of those buckle frame fragments look really old. The 1844 Bank of Montreal Half Penny token is a special find.

:congrats:

Those Sciatica attacks are the worst, I had it really bad last year for months, hardly able to get out of bed let alone metal detecting.. hope it heals up soon for you.

Not very well it is quite worn and toasty, just good enough to ID it.
