FINALLY!
I been hunting this beach a long time...I get the occasional flat button or super old stray brass do-dad...and FINALLY got a coin.
The difference is a brass do-dad thingy usually don't have a date. I've only found modern clad (not even a WHEAT) and unknown age other relic bits.
Today was nice...a bit foggy and drizzle for a little while, but the sun came out at last...a gorgeous 70 on new years day and swinging the beach. Life don't get much better than that.
The injun is basically paper thin, I think I see a "3" in last digit of the date and since it ID's as a nickel/ pull tab...that means it could be an early IH...makes it an 1863. The 1865-1909 IH's ID as zinc/copper penny for me. This COULD be due to the very thin nature of the coin, I dunno... Outstanding find no matter what...
Check out the vid, special for all you homebound snowbunnies!
