1850's Silver.....ish

[Sully_Dawg]

My buddy and I hit a small public park yesterday. Between us both we dug around 130 coins (mostly clad). In the end I had a cool 5 coin wheatie spill in addition to four more for my highest total for one hunt. Late in the day I got a clear coin signal which sound every bit like a clad nickle (51 on the AT max). I couldn't believe my eyes. I had to grab my phone to figure out what I was looking at...An 1850 Swiss 20 rappen. The composition is billon which gave the weird non-silver signal.

Nope, I waved it over the coil out of the hole...dead 50. It's 10% silver, the rest an alloy. Crazy how well it was preserved.
