Seated Love Token, 3 More Indians, and a Musket Ball...

[CTDirtFisher]

Hello all!

Its was a long hunt yesterday at the old foundation and I did not think I was going to get out... 3pm... I was thinking about going out... 4pm... hmmm... still a few hours of light left....

OK... 4:15 head out to a spot that has yielded some older goodies (1800s)... I arrive 15-20 minutes later to find this site teaming with activity... I realy did not want to go back to a park as I wanted some older targets...

I headed to a park that I score Indians at pretty well... but felt like I've worked it pretty well... but hoped that I perhaps missed one...

I hunted for 90 minutes...

Musket ball was out 1st 3 minutes after arriving...

I found the first Indian Head withing 7-9 minutes @ 6-7...

Next up was a 12/42 12/43 signal... 5 range... I was thinking wheatie but hoping for a thin dime...

I was thrilled to see a seated dime in great shape... then I flipped it over... LOVE TOKEN !!!! My first... I was doing a happy dance...

20 minutes later... this one was an iffy signal... but I thought Indian... This is my 25th for the year... Matchng my total of IH's from last year...

Holy crap those are some amazing digs. I'd be beside myself for a month to pull a love token like that. What an amazing dig! Congrats...

I wonder if it's M&N or N&M maybe?

Just a thought.

Great finds, by the way!

I was looking at it the same way... Like it was their first initials with an & in the middle *shrug*

[coinnut]

I think it ENM. I've never seen one with just two letters. Usually they are full initials on them. Google love tokens and see if any have just two. I would guess the first name (E) Elizabeth?? would be the most prominent letter, but who knows :dontknow: But a great find :clapping: Is there a mintmark on it Paul? rofl

Just Googled it and found one with two letters but couldn't find any with the & sign :dontknow:

After I've read more about love tokens and looked at more examples, I think you are probably correct that it is three initials, although I'm still not clear on which letter comes first. It's a terrific find any way you look at it!

Some really nice finds there Paul. That token is a great piece of history :yes:

[coinnut]

I like the ones where the initials are all in a row lol

[coop]

Sweet seated!!!!! HH

[RobW]

Great finds, beautiful love token :clapping:

[jkress]

Great job Paul! :clapping:
I am :drool: over the love token. It is such an amazing piece. The Seated coin is fantastic by itself, but the personal work
on the back really makes it unique.
Congrats on IH's and relics too. Very nice photography on the IH's... they look great.

[angellionel]

Very sweet finds Paul. The Indian Head cents sure cleaned up nicely. :yes:

[wingmaster]

Great finds congrats.
