Bucket Lister for me
Got a solid 65 on the AT Pro and I only dug it cause I hadn't got a good signal all day.
At first it looked like the head to a nail or a small shankless button.
After wiping the dirt away I saw a Roman numeral "III" and it turned out to be an 1852 silver 3 cent piece or Trime as some call it.
First one I ever found so I am excited!!!
Next I hope for my first reale lol

You could argue that these are scarcer to find than Spanish silver (half real, one real, two reales, etc). Note that it's "real" and not "reale". Great color on it too! Congrats
