I found this on my first hunt after 30 years of not metal detecting. I thought I would share it with everyone. I can assume that others have found similar with buffalo nickels or other coins. It is too bad that the lawn mower must have run it over at one time for it is bent a little and broke the chain it was on (cheap chain anyway)
I was trying to do the "right thing" by asking the local city parks department if they had anyone that lost this item. They told me that they would put it in lost and found and see. Since I recovered this about 3-4" down, I assume it has been at least 15 years or longer since someone lost it. I decided to keep it versus getting lost in the lost and found and eventually being thrown out. I asked if they had a list of items that were lost and they told me to drop it off. Any advice anyone has regarding a topic like this is welcomed. Do any of you do the "right thing" or are we all finder's keepers?
