The trail used to be walked by the "coast guard" of the day, and so lots of money and traders went through it. So anyway I stopped to pick it up and my mom, as always, said "stop picking things up. They're dirty" I still took it and it felt light and sharp and I turned it around. Boom, I saw the massive nose of an undoubtedly French person and eventually found the date as 1651. That very coin sparked my passion for this hobby and I still have it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
