Great hunt. A lot of good targets. Love the token...anything on that flattened penny? So does this mean your silver total is now up to 3? :thinkingabout:
 
Lol yes it is 3 :) Thanks guys

Coinnut the flattened penny says Museum of History and Science and it has a picture of Albert Einstein and it says Jacksonville Florida

Those are some really interesting finds! You are really doing well with the Indian Head Cents! For some reason it took me 30+ years of detecting to find a 1916 Mercury Dime, and you got one already!

I really like the "Good For One Loaf" token too. Is there anything on the other side of it?

Congrats on the very successful hunt! :clapping:

Good question. Looks like it might be a Canadian nickel?

I forgot about those older canadian nickels. I did notice the flat sides almost making it look like a polygon shape and I knew of only a few like that. Gibraltar's coin has more pronounced sides and is quite a bit larger..like half dollar size. I know of one other European country with a smaller coin with flat sides (but it escapes me at the moment). The bust looks like it was a 20th century from... england? Now you know why I was confused? lol.
