    Beach Injun!

    Had to clean this guy up a bit as it was really sand incrusted. Came out pretty well I think!
    There was a renovation on an old Haunted House attraction here at the boardwalk a couple of years ago and many old coins came out of that. I believe this Indian is a left over from that event. This beach usually only gives up recent dropped clad!

    I can't say i remember seeing anyone get one of those from a beach. That is very cool. I'd call that a rare find. Congrats.

    Nice find, Ron!

    I thought you had already cleaned that area out of old stuff. Just goes to show us that there's always another treasure awaiting.
    I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.

    Older coins will turn up from time to time after storms or if they do some construction under the old boardwalk! This was just a green sand encrusted disk when I saw it in the scoop, but I had a feeling...

    Thanks Dave! Below is the link to the original post about where I think the Injun originated from. This was over two years ago!
