A fun and productive detecting outing yesterday in some local woods. The hunt started with bumping into a furry friend. I often see deer in the woods. This one was especially curious and walked right up to me. After exchanging pleasantries, we both went on our separate ways:

About an hour in to the trip, I stumbled upon a nice little coin spill. A 1901-O Barber dime, and three little IHP's

Things got quiet for the next two hours, until I found what I think was a picnic area on a ridge with a distant view of downtown Boston. This spot produced 2 Rosie's, a war nickel, and three wheaties

At the end of the day I found a mystery coin...at least I think its a coin. It's very, very thin, and about the size of a nickel. Sadly, its also in horrendous condition. But in the first picture, you can make out some lettering in the botton right quadrant of the coin. I have no idea what this could be. If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know.

Nice hunt and retrieves. The deer adds to the pleasure.
I'd guess that the coin that was used for some compression job is another cent, presuming it is the appropriate size and made of a copper alloy.
 
Great finds Nice story. You also have good pictures !!!
