I dug this 1922, 20 Centimes, French Indochina coin Sunday.

It range up in the zinc penny range.

After finding another Seat-Like coin, I got mixed feelings about this find.

Mixed feelings ? Is that thing silver? Then I'd get over my mixed emotions. If not silver I'd dump that thing in the river . 😎

I have found like 3-4 of those thing in different denominations...I never used to know how many foreign coins were floating around in our ground for some reason,but hey...there it is!
 
Thanks for the recognition guys!

At first it was confusing.

The signal was all wrong for a silver quarter sized target. I was convinced it was an aluminum token and then it almost looks like a Seated coin.

Just wanted to share. ;)
 
That's a cool find....nice coin design. Congrats!

in Fall of 2014 I dug this 1874 French 10 Centimes coin....just smaller than a half dollar and made of bronze.
