That is very odd - any idea of what the metal is? Is it dime size or smaller?

Where are you in Arkansas?

I'd like to know where he is in Arkansas - we had some early Spanish activity here in places in 16th century, but I've not heard of coins being found.

Often re-stamped so it could have even started its life earlier. Perhaps a trade item from the coast. Great find!

What a great find ! Looks like I should visit my brother in Little Rock a more often. In this hobby, you can find things wherever people lost them, but it sure looks like you pulled a needle out of a haystack with that one !
