1896 Nawlins mint. Nice find.

What detector do you use and what was the number on the screen? In the 80's?

Nice find. Not seeing the surrounding terrain, do you think that it was lost shortly after 1896? Can't focus on the pic, but what condition grade is it, how deep was it, details please on this history piece. Pic of obverse.

Nice find. I'm still looking for my first one.

Maybe a cache of them in that creek, keep looking!
