<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kimster, post: 1165923, member: 29093&quot;]<font face="Tahoma">Can anyone tell me what this is? :scratch: I found it in a park in the center of a 160-year-old town (where I incidentally also found a horse shoe at about eight inches...considering there haven&#039;t been any horses in town for around 100 years, it&#039;s probably pretty old) while metal detecting. </font></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Tahoma">This find almost looks like some kind of coin, as it has lettering around the edge (hard to see in this photo, but I could make out an &quot;E&quot;). As you can see, there is a capital &quot;R&quot; in scroll in the center, a line under this, and the roman numeral &quot;VI&quot; below the line. Below the roman numeral, I can make out the number 2 (192? or 182?). It appears to be silver. </font></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Tahoma">As is often the case when digging these kinds of items, I scarred the object with the knife. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> It&#039;s not so much that I&#039;m a sloppy digger (I generally try to pull an oversized plug to protect whatever I&#039;m finding but this was towards the end of the day, I&#039;d already dug up 50 or so pull tabs, and I was real tired...OK, I was being sloppy&nbsp; :zzzzzz:&nbsp; ...another one to kick myself in the butt about if this is anything of historical value...&quot;history ruined&quot; instead of &quot;history recovered&quot;).:so-sad:</font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Tahoma">I thank you for any help you can give me. There are so many experts on this site, that you have never failed me. Someone always knows what my mystery coins are. Thanks again guys!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Tahoma">[ATTACH]121156.vB[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH]121157.vB[/ATTACH]</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
