My head is reeling, I had 5 guys come hunt with me late this afternoon, they all work and hunt at nights allot. We were all meeting up at a cornfield a friend gave me permission to hunt. I went an hour early with Joe (from yesterday) 3 pm. We hunted until the other guys got there at 4. At five the only coin I found was a 1967 Wash Quarter. I was not feeling it. I talked with the other guys and we decided to move to plan B. On the ride there the new guy Jim tells my buddy he found this "silver coin" I don't want to offend Jim. He found it five minutes after they got there and never told anyone just because he didn't think it was a big deal. Now understand, people are all different, he has shared with me he has a very extensive coin collection. So Value is a very relative thing. I'm just glad I'm part of this.
Please help me ID this coin, I'm going to post the pix I have. Hopefully Jim will be able to send me better pix tomorrow. I took the first two in the dark at the second site of my other friend, freehand. I found the only other two coins of the night, the clad Wash and a Indian at the second site.

Enjoy the pix

Nope....Don't see it. I think your going to find out it's not an 8/7. We'll see if I'm right when it comes back. I'll stick with Davis 3.
 
This old thread is still around Brad? Haha! I know you're secretly happy to just have helped dig a coin older than you!
 
Now that is one righteous coin. I would probably quit detecting after finding that
Might be another one nearby it, haaaaaaaaaaaa
Thanks

Couldn't have found it without me, very exciting being part of it.
 
Brad you are one big ole nice guy. Hope Jim is appreciative of you inviting him to hunt your permission.
