    got it out of the hole and there was a wheat and a crockie marbel all 3 came out of
    same hole,that was it. i came home ended up with a 1957 and 1958 wheats and out of the other hole i got a 1911 wheat the marble and this coin i didn't know what it was
    till i cleaned it up and looked it up on the internet it's a 1917 10 piastres argent silver

    That's a nice find. Being the size of a half-dollar is pretty neat.

    Good hunt.
