Always cool to find a foreign coin in So. Calif. I was leaving a very poor producing park when my machine screamed at this beauty. Barely an inch under the grass. Didn't clean it, pics are as found!

Looking at its condition & knowing how the hundreds of these things normally look like, I would say it wasn't there for very long at all.

Nice find, :icon_thumright: The coin is in great condition. You must have pulled that in an arid area. I enjoy digging up foreign coins, especially some with age. Your's more than likely was brought home in a soldiers pocket change. If that coin could talk what story would it tell. :dontknow:

A hell of one, that's what. My only foreign is a German 20 euro cent coin. That must have an interesting story too, all the way in Cali.

SoCal gets a lot of tourists. I myself have lost a few Yen coins over there. Anyone here ever find Yens in the USA while detecting before?

Thats a nice looking British Large Cent. It seems to be in great shape. I have dug a few of those, but they dont look that good.
