I know. Really an unlikely place tooThat type of find always make me think about the journey those coins took to end up where they did- Congrats!
Early in my detecting days (a year ago), I hit a “gold” coin. I was so excited. It was a 2020 Euro 😖Foreign coins are cool finds - congrats !
Your sliver looked like silver🥴Didn’t say it was! 😝
I did find a Nova Scotia half-penny in northern NJ! 🙂At first, I got excited when I read that you found a 1848 Nova Scotia Halfpenny in New Jersey.
But then I saw it was a '55 British West Indies coin... still, it's something you don't find everyday.
