    A little Research Paid Off

    I found an 1863 church that had a school next to it on the 1870 maps. I checked Google earth and found the church, but the spot where the school was is now a grassy field.

I am almost 100% sure it is a coin and not a slug, because i've seen my fair share of slugs, and I don't...
