    Got a little surprise..

    Got out in the rain to a park.....

    Dug $4.03 in clad

    3 wheats

    My last coin was a green coin so put in the pouch.

    The surprise was when I got home to clean the finds and saw that it was a 1904 IH

    Look at the pictures of the lead slug.... It looks so much like a Jefferson Nickel if you look at it at the right angle ------- Cool look a like...

    Too bad it doesn't look like Jesus I could have made $10,000 on ebay

    Found the fob too....

    Thanks for looking...

    You're all wet! That slug can't look that much like a nickel by coincidence, can it? Counterfeit?

    That lead slug is awesome. If I had nudie tokens to trade for it, I would give you 7!. ut I don't have any, so it looks like no trade.

    I have a few more that I found too.....
    Thanks for the offer but I will decline....
    I'll will say one thing and that is if you look at it from above you can't see any figure.. I saw it by mistake when I had it on the table.
    It is a one-of-a-king...
    Too bad it doesn't look like Jesus I could have made $10,000 on ebay
