Back yard of a demo, about 6" deep, and rang up like a dime, then had some wierd nubers, like 32-48 on he CTX. Was really black and cruddy l.ike it had been there a long time. Took lots of elbow action, baking soda and electrolysis to get it halfway cleaned up. A 1948 Mexican 5 Peso coin. 30 grams, 90% silver. Only produced for 2 years, '47 and '48. Pretty beat up.
