Unique silver find

[JT_hunter]

I set out to give the M6 a spin today, I went to a old school about 1/2 hr. away from the house. This was a place I've been before many times and never dug silver let alone a Swiss 2 Fr. coin. I was digging the usual clad stuff, then I got a 88 solid reading 3" deep, I thought 1/2 dollar maybe or a piece of can. When I first pulled it out I thought it was a standing quarter as it was still dirt covered, then I removed some dirt off it and thought it was a token, but I could tell it was silver. When I got the coin home I washed it off with soap & water to clean it. When I looked closely at the coin it read 2 Fr. 1963. It's 83.5% silver, I guess I'll be revisiting that place real soon. The area is full of aluminum can slaw and tabs, I get good results going slow and running the sensitivity at the preset. This hunt lasted just about 2.5 hrs.

That's a beauty! I love finding foreign coins for some reason. Many, such as yours, have really pretty designs.
