Sorry no pics, I didn't have a camera with me when I found it and I gave it to the grand daughter of the person that dropped it. One of my nephews bought the farm/estate where his father grew up and he and his wife and children live on about seven acres of the original 30-40 acres of the original estate. I hunted it for about an hour or so after church and I was getting a lot of deep beeps and didn't feel much like digging. I got one at 4" and it was bouncing between dime and penny so I dug it. It was a really clean and neat looking old 5 Cent play money coin that appeared to be made from aluminum. The kids were watching me and when I dug it up they went nuts! They saw and then held something that their grandfather had played with when he was little. I had to let them keep it. The oldest girl that is 9 took it and showed her mom and they all were excited about it. It'll probably end up being mounted in a shadow box or something in the house (they are all about family and history and preserving the past) I didn't even act like I wanted to keep it. It meant so much to them.

It was a fun hunt, and when they turn the garden under I'm going to hunt it. I feel like there will be something there for sure. :icon_pirat:
