I thought it was Arabic script myself. No apparent numerical date so then I thought it might be a token.

Did a Google search for "bronze Arabic token"

Found this: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=119853

The OP in that post states the date on his token as "1330" which would be correct for the Muslim calendar (so not the 14th century in this case).  Some replies suggested it was Iranian, possibly a celebration or wedding token.

Did a Google search for "Iranian Wedding Token"

Found one: https://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins.pl?coin=20728

I think that's it. Whew.

Gotta love the Google machine ?

This is great info.

Every summer I travel to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia and I know that there is literally hundreds of undiscovered homesteads and other undisturbed sites of interest there.

Damn, I wish summer wasn't over, I want to go back now and dig.

Thank you for this post, I'll be picking this book up myself shortly.

Hello from Windsor, Clive!

Edit: purchased two copies today. Can't wait to delve in.

I would prefer that case myself, because I would like to be able to carry it on board and know that it's secure. They can lose my luggage but not my precioussssssss. :D

I'll keep looking for it or something similar. Thanks for the original post BTW.

Unfortunately, that case seems to be discontinued.

I found this on Amazon (Canada) though: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00E221A88/?coliid=I16KA5F4FTE40C&colid=16IESR6AFFMX6&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

I'm pretty sure it's too long to be considered a carry-on though...and I'm not sure I want to trust baggage handlers enough to check it. (getting the case crushed under a ton of other luggage).

Be great for the back of a vehicle though.

I'm John and I live in Windsor, ON.

I had just returned from a trip to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. After poking around in some of the the many 1800's stone foundations found there, I became very interested in detecting again after lightly exploring it during my youth.  Given the island's history and location, I'm sure that there is a wealth of undiscovered booty to be had there still.

I'm very glad to have found this site and it's wealth of good information. I eagerly look forward to learning all I can from everyone here.
