No work today so off I went with the ole ace 150. Scored this 1859 3 cent coin. Very good condition. I really wish my tablet took better pics for you guys. Still no good scores at cellar holes but the class 4 roads still pay off. 4 inches down in the center of the road. Ace was calling it a pull tab but pretty sure its silver. Smaller than a dime and probably half the weight. Im wicked happy.

Well I washed it off a bit...and the 9 became a 2. Even more stoked now. I love those old coins. When I first pulled it up I thought it was a jewish icon or something cause the face of it looks like the star of david.

Why did you have to say "Ace was calling it a pull tab..." Now I must take my Ace 250 and re check all of those "Pull Tab" spots that I didn't dig!!

Kidding, Great find!
