Had my best hunt of 2017 today....banged out a nice 4 silvers, the smoothie Merc looks to have a mintmark, can't say for sure, but it's a 1918 for sure, also a 36 dime, 63-D Rosie, and a ragged 1942-D quarter...
As it turns out, I called "last keeper"....sure enough, this not-so-old, pot metal medal popped out, very cool!

You're a medalist now!

I'll bet that signal made you jump.

Congratulations having your best hunt of the year so far.

Good hunting!

Congrats! You coined in silver and medaled in "Zinc"? Either way, not going to find many of those in anyone's collections!

They give metals for donating to the NRCC! Hahah, no wonder someone chucked it into the ocean. Cool find though!

FWIW, I found it in an empty lot on McGregor Blvd....
But I get your sentiment....(and agree)
