Here's something different. 1863 Prussian coin?

It's been over 2 weeks since I've gone detecting, but I managed to get out tonight for a few hours.
I went to one of the old homesites I've been hitting lately, and found this coin.
An 1863 3 Pfenninge?
It was about 7 inches down, on a little hillside.
I had no idea what it was when I found it, and knew I wouldn't know until I got home and looked it up online.
I looked around for maybe 10 minutes to figure out what it is.
And I guess it's a Prussian coin.
But I'm still not too sure. lol.
Pretty strange coin to find in Northeast PA.
I bet I'll never find another one of these ever again!
Thanks for looking.
TBK.

Yep... Prussian 3 pfenninge copper.
"A" is the mintmark for Berlin.
360 pfenninge = one thaler.
Scheide Munze means "fractional money."
The 1863-A coin lists for $4 in Fine condition.
