There were about two hours of daylight left after leaving work this afternoon, so I grabbed my gear and headed to a new site by the river. There weren't many targets, but I did manage to pick up some interesting items and a few old coins, though most are in poor shape. The best one is a 1944-P war year nickel. The buffalo nickel is dateless. Another coin appears to be a ?fatty? IH, but is badly corroded.
It was dark by the time I decided to leave, but just before doing so I dug up what I though was a large cent. I couldn't tell for sure though, without any light, so I just wrapped it in tissue and placed it in my pouch. Once at home I was able to see that what I found is an 1837 Canadian Half Penny Token. A nice find, though I wish such coins held up better than they do.

1944 silver war year nickel.
Dateless buffalo nickel.
1940 nickel.
Fatty IH?
No clue.
Not gold, but it glitters.
