I found this today...

[ENGRAVER]

in the dark. Well, almost in the dark. I couldn't see the edge sticking out of the edge of the hole, so I kept digging. Boy, I didn't think I would get this crazy about finding things in the ground. I love this hobby. I found this coin that appears to be a schilling. I have never seen one of these, and would have never thought I'd find one here in my own backyard. The coolest thing is that is from the year I was born. Totally cool!!!

I really don't thnk I understand the picture posting thing, but we'll see what happens

It's an Austrian Schilling.

Before Austria went to the Euro, we spent them at about 12 to the dollar.


Nice find!
