Zinc Penny? Maybe a Screw Cap? Nope!!

[Ill Digger]

Check this out! lol We hit this little town.....square/ sliver of.... a triangle.... lot thingy :rolleyes: today. Tiny little place right. lol
Anyway we get there 15 minutes into it. I hear Earl say Silver. A barber dime! 1903 I was like :shocked04:
Next it's Theola. 15 mins. later Silver! &quot:beerbuddy:arber dime! 1916 :shocked04: :rolleyes: >{
By this time I got 6,7,8 wheaties. But no silver. :hairpulling: Then I get a weird mixed signal near the sidewalk. I'm thinking a zinc penny, maybe a screw cap. :dontknow: First I pull out part of a pull tab. I stand up and recheck the area. About 5 or 6 inches away it's still screaming 10-36, 11-36 at 3 inches. I dig down flip the plug over and here's this thing! :shocked03:
