strange coin

[brrttpaul]

ok so i went out today on that rally and it was very hard the ground was solid. now as you know my wife and i have a little competition going so i was at the ready. come 11o,clock she was murdering me with the 250 picking up four coins (2 farthings and a king george) all i had was shrapnell and a couple of bullets.after lunch i ended up finding a silver shilling 2 brass thrupenny bits, a couple of queen vic pennys and a coin which i thought was either arabic or indian.i looked into it a little and from what i can gather its dutch lol made for indonesia its dated 1858 but i cant find any more info on it anyway im trying to load a pic of it see what you think hope it comes out. ps the hole in it was made for a chain or bracelet.

fred there was a lot of iron there so i went into custom mode and notched out the first 4 up to foil as i said in the morning i struggled but i changed tactics slightly and it paid off what i did notice though there were 35 people there mainly minelab owners and i bet any money that lisa and i had the most finds as most give up by 12. im not saying garrett is superior to minelab or anything but i cant get my head round how fast they sweep and walk its like they in a race or something (bear in mind we are beginers and they supposed to be experienced)that 250 of hers sure picks out the coins i was very impresed with it. i spoke to one of them and he said theres nothing in the field i went where he went and found shotgun cartridges which give a high ringtone (7- i wonder did he find them and knew what they were hence didnt dig im sure anyone would dig a good signal like thatunless his machine tells him diferent just a thought
