only a couple of finds today....and one I can't identify.

Found a 1944 D wheatie today, a fishing weight, and this small piece of something that I can't make out. It sets off as a coin, looks like a rock, but is not magnetic. Any ideas?

Whatever it is, it almost looks as if its been scorched or burned

Looks like a piece of coke:

Coke is the solid carbonaceous material derived from destructive distillation of low-ash, low-sulfur bituminous coal. Cokes from coal are grey, hard, and porous.

Coke is used as a fuel and as a reducing agent in smelting iron ore in a blast furnace.

It was found at a home built in 1897....they had a carriage house and stable...wonder if this may have been from a blacksmith on the property.

Coke, slag, or just a hotrock, I dig them now and then. Maybe one day it will be a meteorite. 8)
