Looks like that piece came preloaded! You better empty it out so you don't get busted! I can hear you now "Officer I dug it out of the ground! I swear!" :icon_thumleft::icon_thumleft::icon_jokercolor::laughing9::laughing9:

I would guess by now it's loaded with Dirt & mud
and would take Big Bucks to do special tests to prove it's original use
for a court of law.

& prove illegal intent.

I would loose allot more respect with, and really be shocked if law enforcement
is that desperate to make a bust.
that being said, I'm not giving legal advice,
just what I consider common sense comment,
on an Obviously "dug" Relic.

anyway "Cool" Find

So...I had 30 min before I have to go to work...so I went to the yard and was marking targets to dig afterwards...had a strong quarter signal that was on the surface...so, grabbed my propointer to find it...and this gem came up...lol

Makes me wonder if the other coins are lighters, screens and grinders lol

What Civil_War22 said, I didn't know what I had found and a PA State Police officer was at the party when I showed my find, and he told me exactly the same thing regarding having it in my car. What the hell did I know?

When I was volunteering to pickup trash along the highways, I filled 4 coffee cans with that stuff.

I think that's called a Community Service sentence, isn't it?

No G.I.B. my dad and I volunteered for ten years using our own time, gas, and disposal to pickup trash on thousands of miles of Arizona highways. In addition to the paraphernalia, we recovered five or six 50 cal ammo cans full of tools, maybe thirty knives of all descriptions, cash (dad found the twenties, fifties, and hundred dollar bills and I found the ones, fives and tens), propane tanks, coleman stoves, tents, sleeping bags, thousands upon thousands of Marlboro Miles, and I even found a surfboard once.
