Found a Bucket list Coin !

[HuntinDog]

Went out the other day for a short hunt and found a almost never heard of coin on the West Coast.
I've had permission to hunt this yard for a while now, but haven't because of the drought and dry ground.
The yard has a bare strip boarder around the front lawn and I thought this would be a good place to start.
I found that there is a bunch of iron trash in the yard to hunt around...
Within the first few minutes a got a hit that was a little iffy and jumpy in the 90s.
I hunt in full tones and getting better at hearing the tones that need digging.
Well I flipped the plug and thought at first it was a pull tab tongue, but when I pull it out of the dirt and wiped it off.... WOW
I saw the small cross and new what it was.
A silver cob !!
I was so amazed I just sat there and stared at it.
Never thought I would find one of those.
I went on to find some other great finds, but none to beat this.
The DEUS Rocks...

Thank you all for the replies.
I know it isn't much, but knowing what it is, is amazing.
As the saying goes "if only it could talk" oh the stories it could tell....
Just thinking it's about 150 years older than the Gold Rush here.... WOW
Imaging what it could have bought back then.. the mind just wanders.

any way thank you again
I'm still excited... can you tell...
