went back to the old town that me and tony 2 cent hunted in early spring this year
I hunted along the clover field across the road from the old school yard,with the heat
I only lasted about a half hour,found a wheat cent the a 10 cent play dime then another wheat and on the way to the car I got a 85-86 reading 5'' down cut my plug and at the bottom of it what I thought was a half it was the size of a half so I
got it out of the hole and there was a wheat and a crockie marbel all 3 came out of
same hole,that was it. i came home ended up with a 1957 and 1958 wheats and out of the other hole i got a 1911 wheat the marble and this coin i didn't know what it was
till i cleaned it up and looked it up on the internet it's a 1917 10 piastres argent silver
made in Egypt the double pic of it i got off the net,,thanks for looking and HH out there.

That's a nice find. Being the size of a half-dollar is pretty neat.

Good hunt.
