Yesterday I was at a military base that has roots back to the 1700s. I go there to use the facilities, and I am always telling my 16 year old son how great it would be to be able to metal detect there. It will never happen because metal detecting is not allowed on federal land. Anyway, as we were walking back out to the car I noticed a coin lying on the pavement behind the car. It looked like a zincie due the way it was was chewed up but I picked it up anyway. Turns out it is a 1910 Lincoln Cent. You could see environmental damage from being in the ground all these years.

My only guess as to how it got there was that they were moving some dirt and it fell off the truck, I cannot think of any other scenario.

We will gladly help you, but we will need images first. We are locking this topic to prevent posts with "We need images". You will get many more quality responses when there are quality images in the first post of a topic. Please start a new topic when you are able to upload pictures. If needed you can use the testing forum. Tutorials are below.

Note: When you start a new topic this one may be removed. So don't panic if you get an email that your topic was removed it's only this one.

PC: We highly recommend IrfanView. (Download) (Irfanview Tutorial)

Apple Computers: We have no idea. Never had an Apple product in our lives. We don't even eat apples. Can anyone help with this? Post here if you can.

Cell Phones (iPhone or Android): First, do not upload cell phone pictures of screens. They are terrible. Please check your camera settings are set to Medium quality. If it uses compression use 70%, it's perfectly fine for the internet. For file type please use WEBP if your phone has it, otherwise JPG. Avoid PNG and GIF, they are horrible choices. Be sure to crop the image to only show the coin. This is a great setup for cell phones.
