Went back to town where I grew up...remember rolling down a hill in the local park, said to my wife that I was going to find silver....Also found a 1800's penny, a few 2 cent coins along with $3.00...prob 45 min search time....I need a better small "shovel" to dig plug....
Coin has a couple of very small marks on side, not my doing, so suppose was from grass cutter? I haven't cleaned it with anything, just washed it in water.....
