Didn't even know I had it! I found this 9 months ago. It is just a little bigger than the head of a large nail! Super thin. I thought it was some kind of jewelry UNTIL I saw a post for one that is JUST like mine! Don't know much about it yet.....Can't even see a date. Exciting find though.... Note to oneself KEEP "what tha's" until they are identified!

That's an exceptional find - don't see too many of those posted on the boards for some reason.

Congratulations!

That is an excellent find. That is the first one I have ever seen. Didn't even know it existed.

Cool!

Those are very hard to find - I've only found "1" in 22 yrs of detecting - they don't read like most coins -

good job!

I found 3 last year... Actually in the past 2 months. Two of them rang up about where an indian head cent rings up at. The other read closer to a nickel / shotgun shell for some odd reason. Maybe because it was about 6" deep and I was hunting about 4" off the ground because of soy bean stubble. They are fun to find, though! :)
