My dad's friend owns a house built in 1920 and invited me over to hunt. It was a great day, I found 4 silver coins- 3 Mercs and a Washington and then his neighbor came out to invite me over to her yard. She said she was thinking about buying her 8 yr old boy a metal detector and that I could hunt if I let him walk around with me. He was full of questions and lots of spunk.
After I showed him the basics of the metal detector, he asked if we find a gold coin, can I keep it? I was about to say sure, thinking we wouldn't find one, but said no, if we find any old coins before 1964 or jewelry I wanted to keep it.
Whoa and behold I started swinging and within a minute or two found this coin under his swing set at about 2 - 3 deep lol
I don't know foreign coins real well, was excited that perhaps it was gold... but it is brass still a funny story though! Then we found the silver religious medallion, that I plan to mail it to the woman who lived in the house before the present owner who knows her and that she was Catholic- she lives in Pennsylvania...
