I think we all at least hope, that a new permission will be the one!
That one that ends our quest, that we can stay there and find forever more. :dontknow:

Short attempt on a messy day at my new one.

Must've been some shooting going on here.

I asked if I could just have one more coin as an exit
find. Just so I'd feel better.

This was it! It came out so dark I wasn't sure what it was at first.

1917! Missed it.........by that much! ;)

Don't get me wrong, I've got lots of ground to cover yet, just wasn't that
big hunt today. This place has potential!

Thanks for peeking!

Nice digs Whadi. I have hit some sites expecting old coins that never materialized, yet on other sites I expected clad and came up with some oldies or silvers. Good luck with the new site. I see more keepers in your future.

Congrats on the new permission. It is enjoyable to swinging over new ground. That 16-D is out there somewhere, wish I knew where. Nice catch on the 17. Still gotta like them early dates.

It's always disappointing to work for a new permission just to find its not quite what you imagined. But Subterranean has it right....

I really didn't recognize it at first. Had to really look hard! I figure it was one that was just in circulation a long, long time and dropped much more recently. Strange how dark it is though.

Only a guess, But I think Traffic causes that.
I think it was lost in a spot ,where it was Run over by Bikes, Cars , Feet for awhile.

Water can cause Black Tarnish also, But the Wear makes be think Traffic.
Normally when I see silver in that condition it is in Very Hard ground.

It fits, my research showed either a road or a farm path in the field. Plenty rocky too.
This thing was almost on top!

I said the same thing when the round ball, (it is lead), came out. Seemed funny though, somehow.

And I'm sorry, I didn't see your question about Fishy's toy until now. It's either a silver colored
.22 shell or the Lone Ranger started out with a .22. ;)

Thanks!
