1836 Love Token...Bath House Token!

[Goldstrike]

I mentioned in a post a few days ago (2 gold rings) that my friend and I had permission to detect an old home and grounds dating from early Victorian times. These tokens are just a few of the interesting items we found in the last few day's. We found a disused root cellar and found 2 little stashes of late 1800's silver dollars and Peace dollars and other small collection's of silver coins and tokens and still we are not done with this property! This proves to me again how valuable permissions are when you can get them!
P.s. a nice 1888 silver 3 cent piece!

My guess is that the 3 cent nickel was part of the "collection" that Goldstrike dug and was in some type of container. The color of that 3 cent nickel is typical of a circulated non-dug coin of that type. I've dug a couple 3 cent nickles and because of the nickel composition and size they VDI'd in the foil - .22 cal. brass ranges. Their color and surface conditions were similar to dug V or shield nickles. Best of luck and...

It was a phenomenal hunt at this old property. Between us we found and detected 14 silver dollars and a number of silver dimes including Merc's, a number of Indian Cents and some worn down Nickles. Also some tokens. Not everything we detected are in the pic's. My buddy and I did some sharing and I think we got all that was to be gotten. Out of all that we detected and found (i.e. root cellar finds) even though it's not rare and worth much, I love the 1836 'love' token. I have never found one of those before. I will be forgetting the parks from now on and will be concentrating on permissions this year. BTW...we checked all the coins and there wasn't any key dates unfortunately. Happy and productive hunting to you all.
P.S. Thank you for all your kind comments!
