Another Saturday of hunting for some Colonial History. Myself and Dave Wise are gluttons for punishment as the day started off slow for us. The woods were extremely humid, infested with mosquitos and the rain came upon us...par for the course when cellar hole hunting in the Summer. Persistence salvaged the day for us as we both made some rare finds. Mine being a 1785 Nova Constellatio Copper and an 1863 Patriotic Civil War Token.

Two bucket listers for me. Hey, those are really interesting buttons too! Is that all from one site Todd, or did you guys move around? Nicely done!

Nice score on the Nova. It is in good shape. I didn't see the back of the token on the other collection of pics so I had no idea what it was. Never saw anything of the sort before. Those two smaller buttons must be cuff by the size, but I can't imagine the person lost both of them at the same time.
I thought I saw a mention on bookface about different sites...Originally Posted by OxShoeDrew
