Thanks for all the info and replies! I should really give my Gf credit, she was swinging and I was digging. At first I thought it was a quarter, but then I realized it was way cooler. And was I read 1888! I'll be hitting that spot a little later today, after I check out another 1800s settlement spot I've been researching! There's lots a trash, so it's gonna take awhile to clear it out with the little coil.
