Default Foreign silver today...
I got out with Dirt Lizard to explore a couple new park locations this morning. Hunting was kinda slow, not many targets, and the ones I dug were deep. My best find today was this...[IMG][/IMG] I figured I was digging a worn out silver quarter by the vdi, I sure wasn't expecting a US/Philippine 20 centavo coin...Other than that, I dug a bullet, $3 something in clad, half a dozen Wheats, and a tiny football charm that took forever to find in the pile of dirt...[IMG][/IMG] I'll sort and clean the keepers and post another pic or 2 later. Thanks for looking!

All the Wheats were 40's and 50's, nothing special there...The 20 centavo piece, on the other hand, is a first for me, and way cooler than digging a Merc or Washington quarter. [IMG][/IMG]The silver composition is 75%, and it was minted in Denver, it has the 'D' to the left of the date...[IMG][/IMG] Has anyone else ever found one of these?

I've never seen one of those posted on this forum. That's a pretty cool find Captain, way cooler than a Merc, Rosie or Washington plus now you can say you found a 20 cent silver.
