Congrats! They are so awesome and tiny, most people don't even realize the history you hold in your hand. When you begin to show people and explain that its not a nickel is an amazing history lesson. Great recovery!

Very nice coin ...great detail.

I found one exactly like it last fall.....I was so happy...I took it aboard my boat when we went to haul the lobster traps cause I wanted to show my crew..

Well..when I got home...guess what...it was lost again !!!!!

Never did find it...guess it was meant to be lost. Put that baby where it will be safe !!!!

Oh man, that's a total tragedy. I kinda had a fear of that happening before I could get it home so I kept ckecking my pocket every 15 mins or so. Its in a nice safe place now.

 

[xtrmdigger]

Awesome! Now go find a 2¢, 3¢, & 20¢ Pieces to show them also! LOL happy hunting!

 

[DiggetyDog]

I am pumped! After 5 months of digging rusty relics. (Some pretty cool stuff though. Some not) I finally made myself turn my Iron Mask on and there it was. First find of the second day!

Aqua, you must have been really disappointed to lose a coin like that! They are so tiny and so easy to lose! You'll have to find another one!

Wow my first was a wheatie in the backyard... later found out, my mom threw them in there when she was like 3 years old.
