My first silver coin find! Though I was MD'ing while I found it, I actually saw this coin first on top of part of an old concrete irrigation channel. The channel was sunk down to the soil level and the heavy rains we've had recently must have nudged this coin out of the soil and on to the top of the concrete making it completely visible. So maybe this doesn't count as a MD find but more of VD find (Visual Detecting), lol.

weighs 3.2g

Awesome find

Now, you are officially 'hooked'.
I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
