It was one of those days... I had the itch to go out but at the same time felt like staying home, with the weather being cold and all.

So, I decided to check the spark plugs on the car and take her out for a spin (excuse).
Well, while driving by my favorite spot my car decided to turn into the old dump site.

After 30 min and a bouncy signal I decided to dig and satisfy my curiosity. I'm glad I did because the next thing you know I pull out roundness. At first glance, I could see a Gold tone, a 10 and ridges... What do we have hear, can it be, another gold coin at this spot?! Well, the next thing I do, I pull off my glove and check the weight at what appears to be a coin. Not what I expected, the thing felt more like aluminum. I was hoping it was heavier than a nickel like my previous gold coin, oh well... I guess I'll find out when I clean it. A few min later I get a nice steady high tone. This time I pull out a suspender buckle, not silver but still a good find.

Uh-oh! (Phone ringing) the wife is calling... Darn! Need to call it a quits...

Almost forgot, the coin turned out to be a 1936-D German 10 ReichsPfennig and melted lead

I think my brother found that same coin a few months ago, it was not a US coin. I remember the bent wheat looking stalks. I think he said it was German,
