Hello,

I spent some pre Super Bowl time hunting a few tot lots today. I didn't do great, but I was not skunked either. Managed a few coins of each denomination, a couple keys, some trash, and an odd coin.

I do not know how you folks find so much jewelry in playgrounds. I have hunted many of them and only come up with the rare piece of jewelry. Oh well, maybe next time!

As for this coin, no clue how it made it's way to the wood chips. Any help identifying it is appreciated. If you need better photos, feel free to ask.

Anthony

Rang up like a quarter. Almost pocketed it thinking it was one, but it just didnt feel right. Looked again, and did a double take.

I hope you are feelin better. I may be down your way later this month. If so, Ill drop you a line.
 

Cool looking coin! I know what you mean about them tot lots. I don't know how they do it either. I've never found anything in them but clad and junk.
Thanks for sharing.

It's a remake of one of Mel Fisher's coins from the Atocha.... have one myself.
