[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4938309, member: 10461"]Looks to me like lawnmower damage. I know that sounds strange, and strangely specific, but I've dug coins while out detecting that looked just like that. Seems they got lost in the grass, and while they were still on the surface, before they sank into the ground, along came the mower, and sucked 'em up into the blades, and - [I]whang![/I] - there ya go. You can even imagine the sound. Yes, even with hits on opposite sides like that. I suppose the lawnmower blades go around fast enough that the coin can get hit several times ([I]*whang! *pow*pow*pow*clank*[/I]) before it drops back out onto the ground and eventually sinks into the earth. Uless it gets [I]another[/I] lawnmower-whirlie first! But yeah- machinery damage of some kind. You're right about that. I dunno for sure that it was a lawnmower involved, but it was definitely some kind of mishap like that.[/QUOTE]
