[QUOTE="Guessologist, post: 448080, member: 11952"] ^ yesterdays coin was a full penny, I'm spoiled digging the big chunky ones lately and didn't have anything on me to compare to... Forgot about this one yesterday, checked out a new area that might come good(er), found this decorative piece about 2" across that I accidentally ripped one side off while digging. Not sure what it's made of, not heavy enough for lead (looks similar, hasn't held up well in the ground), and the plating appears to be silver. Gave it a rub with some foil and it gave a faint sulphur smell, and looks distinct to the nickel plated stuff I've found.
