New here from Idaho!!

Tried my first stab at coin roll hunting yesterday, the bank only had some loose Kennedys, $9 worth, nothing special, except a gold 2003, but it was lighter than the others, almost like plastic...

Does it "thud" instead of "clink" when dropped on a table/other coin?

If it "thuds", put it in a thick plastic tumbler, place your hand over the tumbler opening, and shake the heck out of it. You'll see just exactly what you have there.

Maybe you can put a pic on here. By the way, while I was fishing the South Snake on vacation a few years back, I lost a $1,000.00. My ATM card quit on me, so I had to bring cash with me. I put ten, hundred dollar bills in a small water proof plastic container and had it in my pocket. Well when we got to the river, it was hot and we wet waded and the water proof container floated up out of my pocket and all I could think about is I hope someone who needed the money more than me found it. I do love fly fishing in your state.

My bro lives in Idaho & has hunted some boxes up there. I had a pretty good score from about $170 in CWRs last summer in Boise. Found 50+ silvers, so I know there is some good stuff up there. Good luck, and let us know how you do!

If it thuds, its likely a magician's coin. Put it in a tumbler, shake the heck out of it and it'll likely pop open revealing another coin (usually a British large cent or Mexican 20 centavos) inside.
