The days are getting darker sooner so I headed next door after work in the dark. With my Ace250 I only had tones to go by and no depth or visual target type info. Pretty spooky out there too with bobcats in our neighborhood now. 
Well I was trying to balance on the hillside near the fence and had a solid target. I pulled something small and flat that looked like a large sequence. It even caught some of the nearby light and looked somewhat bright colored. In my imagination I began to think maybe a half cent? I was careful NOT to rub the dirt off of it, just in case and dropped in my ‘things to check later’ container.
Not more than 20 feet away I found a cent (the 1914 Wheat) and was done for the night.
Back at the house I dumped all of my goodies in the plastic sifter, fished out the disc, and lightly rinsed it with fresh water. Voila! One of my Bucket List Dream Coins emerged – an 1855 Silver Three Cent Piece! A first for me!
Not sure what the ornate round thing is.
Thanks for Looking!
