1853 3 Krultzer ,German coin about the size of a dime.
 

DAMN:)!!!!
Wow, I don't remember.....I started metal detecting in 1971.....over 41 years ago, and with over 200,000 coins found.....Back then over 90% of all the dimes, quarters, half dollars, and Dollars I found were SILVER......"The Good Old Days".......but most likely a common silver Roosevelt dime.

Happy Hunting everyone!!

A 1851 3 center.. I jumped as high as Micheal Jordan and I'm 6' tall and FAT!! lol.. HH

You know I'm only 41 been hunting 15 years...but it would have been great hunting back in the early seventies with the silver plentiful
 

I think it was a 1946 Rosie.
 

A merc the very 1st time I took my M 6 out, nothing like that gleam in the hole. Happy Hunting...
