Hunted a farm field yesterday... only one coin.

I've seen black phase but never a white squirrel before. Pretty cool. Are they true albinos?

There is a "White Squirrel Rivalry" between Flora, IL and Olney, IL which is 25 miles away. Olney claims to be the white squirrel capital of the USA. For some reason the white squirrels in Olney are true albinos with pink eyes, but the white squirrels in Flora are not true albinos, they have dark eyes.

The one in this photo was in Flora, it has the dark eyes and therefore is not a true albino.
 
Congrats on yet another seated coin Tony! You have found both ends of the spectrum in the last couple weeks. A beautiful 1859-O and a toasted one that has been through the fires of hell. HH my friend, Dave.

Thanks, Dave! For the first time in my metal detecting career I have more Seated Dimes than Barber Dimes for the year. Bizarre.

This one is my oldest US silver coin, I just wish it was in better shape.
