Silver Peso

[ryanchappell]

I received permission to detect a house built in 1930 by a wealthy individual, in a formerly nice area. I found a nice big silver coin. 16.66 grams total, .720 fine silver, 0.385 troy oz silver content.

When I found it I thought it was my first Franklin. I did not realize how much bigger it was until I got home. Interestingly, it actually has less silver than a US half, 0.385 vs 0.42 tr oz.

Oops the last photo is for comparison. I only found the peso this time. The walker was found elsewhere and the peace was given to me. There is no way I could ever catch all the mistakes I make in a post in the 30 minute time limit findmall gives you for editing.
