1805 draped bust large cent, on base at the Presidio of Monterey in California.
 
About 15 yrs ago up against the side walk leading up to city hall in Clinton ms I found a silver coin that after much research found out was a coin from the reign of Edward the 6th. 1549 to 1551. How it got there is a mystery.
 
1865 2 center and civil war lead.
 
Actually I have a pewter spoon I've found that I believe predates the civil war lol
