I’ve been taking it easy lately just like with any addiction it can get out of hand. But I haven’t swung in 2 days so I rewarded myself with 3 hours at the park. I found a old spoon (not sure how old but it is local), a gold plated something, turquoise ring (not silver), some craved lead that was deep, my BEST dated 1920 Buffalo Nickel and something strange. It’s I believe a 1941 Jefferson Nickel, but it’s on a 2.8g planchet. I’ve tried to research it but couldn’t find anything. It’s so thin it’s strange to see and it’s smaller.

Interesting find! :occasion14:
 

Glad you took a break Truth and on the other hand, glad you got out for a few hours. That nickel is strange, hope some one chimes in with more info.
