New spot gives old silver

[Mi$terG]

Hi all. Went out to a favorite spot today and tried a new area... And out popped a small bent coin that I couldn't make out. Then a solid quarter hit, and before I knew it, I had a dark purple colored SLQ in my hand! See before and after photos below. The bent coin turned out to be a chewed up Indian Head Cent bent as a love token. I will be going back! HH, all!

Thanks for your comments. I will see if I'm able to get a decent photo of the IHC. The entire rim is gone from it, along with the obverse. I was only able to ID it from the reverse side- the letters "ON" and "CEN," along with a few leaves in the wreath at the bottom left of the coin. Not much is left of it unfortunately... Still very happy to find it and the SLQ- my second in 3 weeks!
