Started out my day with a little fishing, looked down in the rocks and found a '59 rosie. I knew it was gonna be a good day. Finally got around to some digging, the first spot we hit gave up 9 wheaties, I was Ok with that, I'm tryin' to get to 200. Then we went to our silver spot. First hole was double wheats, about 15 minutes later I got a '46 quarter and a silver nickel about a foot apart. As I was making my way back towards the main yard, I got a weird nickel signal, I was hoping for another war nickel. But, wow,...........I mean, just, wow...... I thought silver looked cool in the dirt !!!!! I just remember kneeling there in a daze muttering, "I thought it was a nickel, I thought it was a nickel..." over and over. Then I made a wind sprint(I DO NOT run, It's against my religion) over to my wife to show it off. Even she was excited. Man-O-man, What a day !!!!!!!

Great find! Didn't know what it was either. You can bet that there aren't many of those laying around out there. I've seen a lot of coins, but didn't know what you had there.
