Yesterday evening I was hunting along a stream in a local park. As always I picked up some clad but I also found these two beauties.
The coin is a Nickle-Copper blend. It is the size of a U.S. half dollar. It was about 7 inch deep in the muddy stream bank.
It appears I clipped the wing of the eagle pendent, but I did find the broken piece when I rechecked the hole with my PP. This is the second eagle pendent I have found in the last week. The pendent is pewter and the chain is non-silver.

The coin fooled me too. At first glance with Queen Elizabeth on the face, I thought it was Canadian also. I believe Burmuda is a part of the British Commonwealth. I have never seen a Canadian half dollar and this is the first half I have seen from Burmuda

Duh on me. Of course it's from Bermuda. Not very observant, am I?
