Find from old seaport dock hunt

[rommelvon]

Hey all, I have found a german coin...in America...from 1909 I found this under the old flooring of a dock that has been torn down, this dock has been around since the civil war I think, my only guess is a german sailor dropped it and it fell through the floor cracks, it is in great condition as it has never been exposed to the elements...and I think it's pure silver....can anyone tell me anything about this coin.....oh I also found some clad and an old spoon.... this is my greatest find to date.....I almost soiled myself

Thanks guys, I will be hitting this dock again tomorrow, had to leave today because they were using a wrecking ball on some bricks and stuff was flying everywhere.......but, as McCarthur said...."I shall return"
