Nice finds again Chris, would love to find me some U.S silver.
I’m after a silver dollar this trip but after months of rain it’s made the site hard to detect lots of wheel ruts from the tractor

I would love to find one in good nick love the look of that coin, taken a walk.
I suspect Chris’ coin may have strayed to the wrong side of town and caught something

So what do you reckon caused the damage? Not the soil
I think it may have been in a fire. Maybe a token gesture on last day in camp? Surface does have that ‘spitout’ appearance.
What ever those lines on the rim are called are still intact?? Thanks for I’d
I brought a branch home after getting a signal from it managed to split it two and found what appears to be a projectile (copper and lead)! IMG_20190105_073554|375x500

I believe it’s called a reeded edge. I was told it was to stop coin shaving, where you would cut a little silver or gold off the rim of coins gradually getting a decent amount to trade.
