I swear! This hobby just NEVER ceases
to amaze! LOL

Just a short 2 hour walk at the clad-farm.
Now, this place is just a large park, sports
complex. I would expect the usual cast of
characters, clad, occasional bling, pulltabs, etc.
So, imagine my surprise on this find.

I'm toward the end of my walk, moving toward the
car when I get this beautiful 90 in any direction
and loud! An obvious, near surface hit. But, I'd
gotten a similar signal earlier. Turned out to be
two clad quarters, back to back. So, I wasn't
thinking much about it when I peeled back a very
shallow plug.

Now, I've found some pretty nicely conditioned coins.
But, this!? Well, either this has been lying
just under the grass for 168 years, or, this was
somebody's "lucky coin" and it was dropped recently.

I've done nothing to it but brush it off. You
can decide but as for me? Whether it was a recent
drop or not just doesn't matter. all I know is it's
mine now! :)
