Hey guys... been around here for a while but never actually shared my finds 
Decided that now is the time! My hunting partner and I have been doing quite well at an old ghost town this season, and Friday was certainly no exception. Found my 2 oldest coins to date A couple of pre-confederation Canadian commercial tokens. We decided to grid a site with our small coils... set up marker flags and everything. I strapped on the Digger for it's first true test. Prior to this hunt, I had not found a coin with it (had only used it once or twice, briefly)... but decided this would be a good site to put it to the test. It passed with flying colors! This little coil is amazing... no other way to describe it! Adequate depth, and the separation is unreal. When you hit a coin, you KNOW it's a coin... the TID is so stable! Anyways, on with the finds!
This first one seems fairly uncommon, as most feedback I've had from others is that they've never seen one before Though... not really valuable by any means.
1828 Lesslie & Sons halfpenny token
The seconds is one I've been hoping to find for quite a while Not in great shape, but I'll take it!
1835 Ships, Colonies, & Commerce halfpenny token
Also managed a couple silvers... 18?? Canadian quarter (very worn) and a 1900 Canadian dime. Also an 1917 Cdn large cent.
Thanks for looking!
