I think I found a counterfeit Seated dime

[40 Rounds]

This “coin” rang up as a 24 on my Equinox 800 one way and just a signal that sounded pretty good the other way. I popped the plug and 8-10 inches down I was pretty excited see a silver dime staring back at me in my hole. It turned out to be an 1861 Seated dime. What at first was excitement turned to disappointment as I noticed the coin didn’t look right and after rinsing with some water the silver seemed to be peeling off. I ran my detector over it out of the hole and now it was ringing up a “15”. When I got home I inspected it closer and there is no doubt about it, its a counterfeit/fake coin. Never thought I would find a fake but kind of cool
