    I Dug a Very Cool Coin Ring Today

    I was out digging with Noah and my first hole in the first yard i dug a cool silver coin ring. I looked it up and was able to tell it was a German Von Hindenburg commemorative coin. When I got home and got it cleaned up better, I was able to positively ID it as 1935 5 mark German coin.
    If you look closely, you can see the 19 in one photo, the 35 in another and the bottom of the 5 in another.

    This is the first one that I've ever found. It absolutely made my day!!!

    That's cool! Really sweet find Don!
    Congrats!
    Too bad the numbers and letters are on the inside. All those little dots would look cool on the outside.
