Golden Gate Park Gives Up BIG Silver :detecting:

Hit GGP yesterday, and it must have been "Foreign Coin Day" :ausflag: :canadaflag: :ukflag:

I found a 1982 Canadian penny, 2006 New Zealand 50 cent piece (must be made of zinc coated iron, came in really strange, I almost skipped it). Lastly an odd find - A Silver 1976 Austrian Winter Olympics 100 Shilling. I don't believe it's been there that long, as it was only around 4" deep and cleaned up easily, but seems like an odd coin to show up :confused:

I didn't think I'd pulled out anything old or semi-old, but when I looked through my loot this morning I found that I'd dug a 1944-S Wheatie :biggrin: (what's the story on the big $$$ 1944 D/S wheatie???)
