I have NO idea how this coin got here, but here is the story. Yesterday I went to get an eye exam. This particular Dr likes to dilate you eyes so I always go home unable to see squat. My Dr also happens to be by a park. This is a new park. Most of them around here are. I had a few minutes to kill before the kids would be home so I thought I'd swing my detector.
I was in the mulch area around some trees which also had a few tables around it. I was picking up signals here and there. Quarter, a key chain, various other bits and bobs. I ran out of time and headed home. Today I decided to clean out the old bag and put away the coins. As I'm looking at the coins I noticed that one didn't look normal. I gave it a good look and saw it was a V nickel. You could have blown me over with a feather. I had no idea when I got it because I could barely see. I have to assume someone was at one of the table showing off their coin collection or maybe, just maybe someone had it in their pocket and dropped it naturally. either way, it's mine and at 1907 is now my oldest found coin to date. If you're wondering, yes I'll be back hunting that section again. Yes I will pay closer attention to my finds.
