    Here's my best token yet

    I found it on Kleinstuck preserve in town here on March 26th 2008, it was about 10 inches deep in the peat (just about all the soil there is peat) and a gal who walks her dogs regularly there seen me up on the hill so she wanted to see what kind of goodies I was digging and she got to the top of the hill just about the time I pulled the token out of the hole. First thing I spotted was the eagle and I handed it to her and she was in awe and just said this looks really old and I said I think it might be a civil war token.

    It's an R6, I got an email from a guy on Tnet who collects them and he said he's only seen 2 different pics of them, he said there were between 24 and 75 of them made.
