WOW wow wow. Your finds are truely amazing! Even inspiring, the fact that there are still very good condition tokens to be found out there.
Is it silver? Any idea how has it weathered so well?

It’s brass I think …came from a spot on the river that had lost about 100mll of top sand but still in black muck

We’ve had a bit of rain up here (170mm) so took a few of those oddball finds into town came back with a smile


Went out to survey the damage still a shitload of water running out but hit a washout could barely stand up in the middle and made detecting impossible and the way the sand was crashing in I fear it will will be gone tomorrow
A few spendies always a bonus will try my 1860,s spot tomorrow

Good to see an honest dig. I enjoy seeing the junk (Cu, Pb, Brass etc) stuff you can use or trade in to the scrappers.
