Quick hunt produces an oldie

[~ACE~]

Went for a quick hunt before the rain started. Nailed a 1940 penny, buckle, handle off of a knife or razor that I have soaking, oil lamp parts and an 1815 Lower Canada Half Penny Token. Thanks for looking, and HH

I found a 1857 one penny upper bank of Canada token last week. I thought it was a large cent at first. Someone drilled a hole in the date so you can't see the 1. Still a cool find

Yep, gotta love them oldies. Any patent date or other marking on the wheel used to adjust the lanterns wick height?
