11,000th coin found, but what is it? Snow is moving in.

[kane23]

I needed 20 coins this morning to reach 11,000 for 2009, I found 25 including this strange coin which was actually # 11,000. I also found six quarters, five dimes, six nickels,seven cents and the coin below. I would guess that its a modern cast copy of an ancient Cartagenian or celtic coin. Any other ideas? Let me know, kane 23
Update, it is now december 7th, the ground is frozen and the snow is moving in. headed for texas in a couple of weeks, hopefully conditions will be better there. kane 23

Thanks Crusader! I found a few other celtic coins(Greek coins and their values, Vol 1) that also were close,I'm pretty sure mine is a repo though.

Congrats on the 11,000 coins Kane.... How much in monetary value does it add up to? Even if all were pennies, that would add up to a nice chunk of cash...

Neat copy for your 11,000th coin dug for the /09 season. Big congrats on the awesome totals.

Man that is a lot of coins....I need to start keeping a totals count and hope I reach 11,000 SOMEDAY!
You obviously put in your fair share of time.
Maybe I'll be able to read a post from you when you find your number 20,000.
