whoa dude you sound like me. ha ha. hope your arm is back to 100% soon. That is a cool coin. Years ago I dug about 1/4 of one that had been cut to make change.
Take care of that arm.

Thanks litefire ,The old stuff is out their you just have to hunt where people give up on and sometimes it pays off but it does put a damper on your finds ,on the long run.

Congrats on sticking with the minefield of bullets and casings,,, most people wold have hightailed it out of there to cleaner ground.
