Went in the woods with a friend hunting yesterday. He went one way.. but I had to pee so I went the other way.

I found an 1918 wheat, then another 1918 wheat.. and then a large flat button so I stayed in that area.

I saw a rock- and thought to myself- "I can imagine someone sitting on that"...so I walked over to it scanning.

Right next to the rock is where I found this.

It is my oldest silver, my oldest U.S. coin, my oldest quarter, and probably my rarest coin if I had to guess (no idea on old British coppers, but they are always rotted anyway)

Thanks guys! Yea- I'm def going to display it.

Probably my best 'show' piece since my 1870 seated $1 dollar- and even cooler since it is much older.
