What Happens Sometimes Seems It Shouldn't.

The 1758 Reale that I dug next to a southern Michigan farmyard driveway.

An 1865 2-cent piece dug in a modern ballfield, 10' beyond second base.

An 1885 V-nickel, a surface find in a flower bed next to a city house. Found it about 1975, as a teen.

A mint-condition silver 1972 German 10 Deutsche Mark olympics commemorative, I found it about 1975 as a teen, eyeball find on a buddy's driveway. No one there had any idea who might have dropped it.

A 1924 Peace dollar, holed, about 2" below ground surface. It hit like a crushed pop can. Dug that between a newer ballfield between first base, and the concession stand 30' away. Almost didn't dig it!

Just a couple I can think of, somewhat unusual.
