[Deepdiger60]

I just found a few silver coins and wheats at a very old house on my block 116 years old when i got this hit i thought it was a copper about 8 inches deep , its smaller then a penny but thicker solid copper, it has on one side a deer ? and the other side what looks like a fly ?? hhmm theres dots that circle the edge and some writings but cant make it out ? . Any ideas ?? Thanks Jim

Ironspike thank you !! since it was found i had no idea where to look WOW how did a coin like that get to the eastend of Long Island ? from the links you sent me show silver or gold i couldnt find anything copper or bronze the coin is heavy for its small size and very smooth i hit it again with my DFX with a new custom gold program it comes up a +23 in 15kHz so who knows what looks like copper might be gold if i do clean it first i have to read the right way to do it .How did you find that infro so fast ? i been looking for months lol Thanks Jim

Google images is a good way to search

I think some of the coins listed 2nd link are copper/bronze.

Keep us posted as to what you find out about your coin Deepdiger60
