OK OK, before you all ask! no I didnt find this in my yard. This is how some research paid off. Was checking through my old maps and found out where the old Watkins Glen fair grounds were located back in the 1800s, I really didnt have much faith for this spot, but gave it a shot anyway. So about 20mins into my hunt I pop this out of a 6 inch plug, this coin was black! either from tar, or from a fire. seems like it was tar, pitch or roof tar, who knows.
but this coin had little or no hope of being cleaned. braught it over to Mud(swat)s house on the way home to show him, so maybe he`ll chime in on how messed up it was. still needs a little more cleaning.
enjoy the pictures

well, heres how she turned out, Id rather not buff the detail off of her so this is where I stopped. I think most of the crud preserved he detail to what she is now. After the pictures I gave her a silver glaze buffing so she shines pretty nice. Compared to what she looked like when I found her, Id say its a night and day difference.
It was a free find, so im happy with it.
heres some pics
Enjoy!
