    April 24th & 25th finds from a bean field and back to where I got the big coppers

    On the 24th my brother and I went to a bean/corn field we've hunted several times and did good once again.

    My brother kept saying that he thought this token was just some fake kids stuff but after some research it's indeed a genuine Canada token, I would imagine it was their version of the U.S. hard times tokens.

    This is my oldest dog license this year so far. I just recently got a pm from someone who wants to buy one of my dog licenses but I don't think so, he offered silver in trade too. The one that he was after is an 1896 which is my oldest.

    Here's what I found on the 25th back where I found my CT copper and large cent. It was the only coin that I found, I wasn't out there very long cause I got a late start because of morning rain, actually I really didn't even expect to hunt yesterday but when I read a remark on facebook in "Kalamazoo Detecting" I grabbed my gear and headed for the woods. The remark was "it's clearing up outside I think I'm going detecting"

    A very nice variety of finds. That Wash is in real good shape and the hard times token and dog tag are cool. That field is giving up some goodies.

    I was really happy with the condition of the Washington too, it's not very often that I find a 30's quarter in such good shape, hopefully my next one with be a 32S in that good of condition
