    Short hunt - guess the mystery coin

    Got out for awhile today before the rain. My detector gave me a good headache hunting the trash in front of the Sharp park pavilion. I scored a couple wheats, a sterling forget-me-not, a few clad, and a silver coin....I had an idea what it was but not the date. It's 103 years old. Good luck! ffd
