I understand your skepticism and that's cool. But what's harder to believe... that I may actually be right or that you can go and get any river rock crack it open and have it like this one? I circled the obvious stuff to help you. Prove me wrong and tell me what's circled isn't what I know it is. If you can do that I'll shut up and admit that I must crazy and gracefully bow out of this thread with my tail between my legs. Maby I'm just Not giving nature enough credit or just got super super lucky and picked up a magical river rock that I happend to split perfectly enough to replicate the writing/edges/full coins/completely different outer layer that I circled View attachment 1508992

I blew picture up 500%, there is nothing there but natural rock.

Hey Ahousefavor,

you need a Long Range Detektor. You´ll find much more rocks with one of these!

I too think you may be seeing imprints from fossils.

AHouseFavor, from your pic circled below, it is obvious that what you are seeing is Crinoid fossils. The hole in the center of the "coins" in your photo is a dead giveaway. I've lived in Washington State and have seen these types of fossil rocks before. Examples below.....

Ditlihi,
Those are some Awesome Fossils and looks like maybe a good example of what he may have found.

I'm guessing the results of running them under a metal detector as I proposed didn't turn out so well seeing as how he never reported back with any results.

Ahousefavor, you can just mail me that $500

Based on my quick assessment of you and your claim, if I own the Pawn Shop that you take these to, I'm telling you whatever you want to hear to get you the heck out of my store.

Put one in a rock tumbler and see if a coin shows up! Better yet toss some into the coin machine at the local store and see if you can cash out! One last thing, after reading this post, you will self destruct in 5,4,3,2,1..........
