I found In a small mountain town of Oak Creek Colorado. Population 800.
I can only imagine the story it has to tell.

That penny must have been lost from the cash shipment the Nigerian Minister of Agricultural Planning and Developemental Animal Husbandry Research was supposed to be sending to my bank.

Those are no longer used, as now there is a different currency in Nigeria.

I can't possible have value. Can it?

Valuable or not that's just a cool find.

Yep. It's going in a case of first year finds. A person could get addicted to this sport metal detecting. It's way fun!

It is worth about $0.25.

Probably from a hundred years or so ago when they were importing coal miners to work the tunnels.
Just a guess.

That's a real possibility. I do think this did in fact come from a tourist. When item was found there was a modern dime in the same location.

I am very new at the treasure hunting with a detector and honestly have never ever seen "Cob" before.
