Something a bit different out of the ground this morning. According to Google, a 1790 1 Schilling Courant coin from Mecklenburg-Schwerin (featuring Frederick Francis I).

I found this yesterday, it looks a bit old to be a gas cabinet key or similar. Any suggestions?

@sdetectorist.bsky.social - you're my first port of call for such queries πŸ™‚

The thinnest, most worn hammered coin I've ever found. I believe its is a Dutch 2 Stuivers - not much more detail to go off though πŸ˜‚

A nice local button from Saturday, from Etches of Scarborough.

I'm assuming from one of these entries from 1890ish.

An extremely reduced coin of Decentius from around 352 AD. Possibly minted in Lugdunum (now Lyon).

You can see a partial ☧ (Chi-Rho) on the reverse.
