    Never heard of a bicycle license before That is a good find. I love finding any kind of tokens and odds and ends, but I really like the big coppers from Canada. Where else can you get a large cent from the 1900's? Plus they usually have a nice green patina on them. Some nice finds
    Finding relics is in my blood

    Great post. An awesome variety of great finds. And even though I was there when you dug most of it. It's cool to rehash our last few hunts. I'm still a little envious that your bicycle license was in so much better shape then the one I dug. Lol

    wow, A bike license? ...and the hole in Lincoln's neck? I find Canadian LCs on occasion as our little corner of New England has many former French Canadians. Quite an eclectic bunch of keepers!
