100 Pecos Coin -(No Pic,s)

[Davers]

I got onto a small location yesterday , W/ some Known CW activity (Known since the advent of Metal detectors).
The site was littered with Deep older Can,s & their Deep pulltabs. Oh Well

I did manage to find a 100 Pecos Coin that is Thick & heavy , and came up pretty clean (Gold Tone)
needless to say I thought I may have found my 1st gold coin
BUT- I was using my XLT and it gave a VDI# of 72 Hmmmm Brass but it's not tarnished hardly at all? & Heck A silver Dime gives a VDI of 80-84. (but this thing was 5 inches deep!)
Needless to say the coin was ,NOT Gold but a 1988 100 peco coin ...it cleaned up good so ill def, take it. As it's much better than nothing.

Does it have a guy with a beard and glasses? Venustiano Carranza. 100 pesos, Mexico. This was from the hyperinflationary period, before the last devaluation, so no longer in circulation. Pretty much worthless, but cool!

I found 2 of those 100 pesos coins, I thought I had a foreign gold coin the first time I found one.

Never dug one of those Davers. In fact, the only Mexican coin I've dug was a 1832 8 reales from a CW site. Nice dig & WTG, Q.

Yeah Quindy
This is the only one I have dug other than the one I found in my front yard while preparing for a club hunt .(Strange!)
I wish the one I dug was a Reals type coin.
These Pecos coins must have an alloy of Aluminum in them for the to come out of the ground soo Shiny with the look of 10k gold.
