found a hard times token

went out with Sal today for about three hours to do a quick cellar hunt , sorry didn't bring the camera in fear it would
rain while we were out in the field . not much in that time but an old copper thimble a small button (plain) a shoe buckle fragment
but i did score this 1837 hard times token . don't know how anybody missed it as it was in an old obvious pathway and it screamed out on the old dfx and was just around 5 inches down. thanks for looking and HH everyone.

i took before and after pictures of the token.

Dan

That's really a nice find!

Until a couple of weeks ago, I didn't even know what a Hard Times Token even was. Now, I've seen two of them posted.

Be careful though. California residents may try to steal it from you. lol

whoa! that freakin thing cleaned up beautiful Dan! wow nice job! thumbsup01
private firms made a better metal composition than the us govenment :confused:
imagine if every large copper came out as nice as that? that be soo sweet! :drool:

Nice find there buddy.Hopefully the weekend will produce more.

Beautiful find, Dan! The detail on it is great, and it did clean up very nicely too. :yes:

Nice find Del ! What did you use to clean it up :huh:thinkingabout:

WOW! That beauty cleaned up well! Good job on that token man!

Nice! I found that exact token last year, but mine was holed and did not clean up as nicely at all. Congrats!

thanks you , yes Z i remember you finding yours . their pretty common but you would think they'd be worth a little
more considering there's a mis-spelling on them .

Hey! The token came out nice! Thought you were going out Sat. or Sun. with coinnut? Was hoping to see more finds fromthe weekend.

When Del the Colonialster posts I always know there will be a copper in there. :yes: You and George are top-notch hunters in the great state of Connecticut. You guys will be popping coppers all year. Go get 50 of them. I like that goal from George. You guys both can get 50. thumbsup01
