On New Years Eve night, I took some friends to hunt on Duwamish Head - an area with lots of visitors, so potential of coins everywhere!
Yeah, well lots of people apparently thought of this, so it was a skunk hunt - but we had fun.
I collect fossils and found a good sized concretion which rang up hard on my MXT, so I picked it up. Back home, I dropped it in Dr Pepper to dissolve the concretion and wasn't I surprised at what I found!

No, no documentation on any Russian Ships in Puget Sound until 1798 - maybe.
So where did it come from?
