Shot Largie

Dug this back in March or April. You can read the words United States of America on one side but don't know what year or type. Looks like it has a wreath on the reverse. 43820438214382243823

Pretty sure you're not gonna get a date off that one :lol: that thing is obliterated. Jim, it seems like you either find really beautiful coppers or god awful ones.... I think it's a matron head though the wreath looks similar to one... pretty unique find for sure! :) still counts as a largie in my book

the superstition back in the day was a coin with a hole was considered a good luck piece/token but :wow: , someone must of really needed some good karma :lol:.


seriously that one must have been used as a washer or other type of cap or valve . pretty interesting to see what people did to their money back then .


I might put that on my keychain (if it was mine ) to see if the good luck worked who knows maybe it will make me stop locking my keys in my car :rofl:

Honestly I thought it was the top of a salt shaker when I pulled it out of the ground.

I surmise they used them for meat grinder parts....or strainers of some sort. I found one with about 12 drilled holes in it. Dan won't stop locking his keys in his car no matter what he does with his detecting finds :lol:
