Whoever invented Shell's Mr. President coin game can take a flying...

Hey all, was out at our usual spot in the woods today. I got a great hit on the At Pro at 6 inches and thought silver for sure. Even when I saw it in the hole I though silver quarter...but no, another President coin. Must be my 4th or 5th one. I'm sure a bunch of you have found these as well. Thanks -Jay

LOL! Been there, done that CS at my original farmhouse. The first few I found were fun. Now:

And yes, they do look like silver.

I wouldn't have been so irritated had it been in someone's yard or at an old playground but out in the middle of the woods...no way..lol

I was thinking the same thing yesterday... but about small "silver colored" screw tops that have a reeded edge, so when you see that edge showing through the bottom of your hole you get excited over a silver coin just to find it's not. It's still a rush...just short lived.

Coinstriking I like the old fashioned alum tokens, even from the seventies. Most come out decent even in acid rain areas. I have a few doozies, pics soon. Better than a handful of rotten zinc any day I say.

I know the feeling, few months back I popped a plug and the rim was showing. Called my partner over and said I got a silver quarter in the hole, pulled it out and I felt like an ass.
