Congrats. Only 16 yrs. It took me 38 yrs. to find my first and only silver trime and 37 to find my one and only nickel one.

Well done on the silver, maybe a little beat up but it's a first and no matter what shape it a keeper for sure, well done!

Hi junkhunter that III is a great find What did it read on the conductive? Was it around middle range pull-tab?

 

[wheatfinder13]

Great little silver!

 

[BuckleBoy]

Haha, great find! I'm still hunting for one of those little coins. 21+ years now. I'm not likely to get one down here, unless I dig the sole Orleans minted 3c silver coin (1851).

 

[junkhunter]

sounded like a silver pull tab on its side if that makes any cents

Good job on the Trime !!
I found one many years ago; and almost pitched it, thinking it was "play money".
Seeing the 1852 date changed my mind LOL !

 

[Evolution]

Congrats on the three center! I'm still looking for my first... either silver or copper/nickel... I'll take either one..

 

[stewielouie]

Congrats on the Thrime!! Those are the coolest coins I think we ever minted!!

I found 3 silver trimes in one location. I think they're so hard to find because a. they are very small / thin and b. I think they ring up near the "trash" areas on most detectors so people pass them by.
