Pulled this treasure today :twirlingeyes:. If you can make out that mintmark :crazy: PM me lol I can't make it out with a magnifier, tho probability suggests that its an S. I didn't have my magnifier with me in the field today, so imagine hunting for a couple of hours with that thing in my pouch, then still not being able to find out when I got home. I guess if you can't tell, it doesn't matter.
Interesting, this came up as a solid CO 43 at 2 inches on the E-Trac. It even airtested that way, so nothing in the ground was mucking with it. I don't know how the signal translates to numbers, but I'm guessing a really thin dime will ring lower. I was certain it was a memorial, but dug it to help date the site. Alot of times I won't dig shallow 12-43s. Just goes to show, you never know.
