Surprise find...

[jkline]

I piggybacked this on Ronstars last post, but I'll make it its own. I thought this was a jean rivet, as I found one a couple feet away. Going through my bag last night,... shazam!

The scratch on the coin looks old, so I don't think it was my shovel. It has the diameter of a dime, but is a tad thinner. Amazing it made it all the way from Panama to get lost in ID.

Interesting find..... and silver too!!!!

I think he is still having trouble figuring out the denomination tho. That plus a really weird old rifle cartridge, this poor guy just cant find clad in the woods, nope, just strange history of the biggest party spot on campus.

it was your shovel

Can’t beat silver no matter the origins.

That's a cool design. Being older and silver just makes it that much better. Congrats.

Neat and interesting find. I'm thinking it is a dime. I found one a few years ago on a Military demo'ed site and that's what I determined. HH Jim tn

If that coin is 18 mm in diameter, it is a 1/10 Balboa denomination... 10 cents.

Never saw one before, looks pretty cool, being silver it makes it even better.
