Today's surprise three cent piece

[Ed (Upstate NY)]

Met up with Park Pirate this morning at our favorite hunted out park. Was lucky to score a few coins. First good find was a 1907 V nickel with a wheat cent stuck to it. Later on I got lucky when I dug a deep signal that hit on the smart screen where modern screw caps usually hit. I was quite surprised to retrieve a nice 1852 silver three center from about 8" down. In 29 years of metal detecting this is only the second silver three cent piece I have dug. A bright spot in what has been a lousy year as far as good finds go !

Wow! Great coin. Things are bone dry here, tough hunting. Congrats. That's got good detail and not holed like many are.
