1 Troy OZ of Mangled Fun!

Shark27 · Jul 16, 2011

Had a great short 1 hour hunt today and boy was I suprised to see this bad boy pop out! Along with the 1 troy oz of fine .999 fine silver coin (unfortunatly in pieces..darn lawnmower) I found a nice 1926 S Wheaty, a 44 S Wheaty, a 1944 S Nickel (Second War Nickel this week!), and a really cool jockey on a horse pennant. Enjoy the pics.

The most interesting part of your post was that you found both pieces of the coin. Good for you!

When I first joined a metal detecting club in the '80s, met an old-timer who had found some really good stuff.

One of the things he let me look at, and later gave me, was half of a Jefferson Medal that Lewis & Clark were giving out in during the Corp of Discovery. Made of silver. Originally made in 2 pieces that snapped together. He had found only one piece.
