I flipped out on this find, and I wish I could skip forward, but you'll have to bear with me. Okay. Ready? Gotcha popcorn? Let's start.
One Sunday afternoon. Crazy hot. I "pick up" (haha, get it ) Roberta and we go to the park. We even swing together (I'm a comedian!). Anyway, I turn to park 2 and swing. One hour passes by. I see another kid (Yay! Another detectorist!) with a Simplex+, and he seems to know a bit about detecting, cuts his plugs real nice. Turns out he's just visiting from Ohio to see his grandma. Chit chat about TID, and we go our separate ways. Almost forgot to noise cancel. Since he was already gridding where there was a huge beer party (I was gridding there but too many bottle caps), I go to the other side of the park. Undisturbed, not even by me. Swing some more, rake a few zinclons, then solid 22-23. "Dime!" I dig a plug and see something the size of a half-dollar. Nope, not a morgan dollar coinboy, your title is still held. Pull it out, and walla!
I know it's old, but what is it? Foreign coin?
So excited!!!
