Damage.
Pareidolia.
Just damage, what you are seeing is pareidolia induced by extreme magnification. All too common by the microscope users that have become so prevalent today.

Did anyone consider that it could be a newly discovered misplaced mintmark?

It's not the right shape for a D mintmark used that year.

An unusual shape.... but certainly damage IMO, as other damage is clearly shown on the rest of the reverse. But hey.... finding silver is awesome!
I was considering it an S, not a D. However, it was more of a joke than anything.

Looks more like a sideways "CC"... 😈
welcome
ignore the jokes
come back with more coin finds
it's an optical illusion
generally, don't clean your coins... but how do you know what it is if you can't clean them...
ask what to do on our metal detecting forum: https://forums.collectors.com/categories/metal-detecting
At least it's silver. Nice find.
Ya found silver, way cool 😎
In my mind you already win by spending time with your son outdoors detecting. Finding silver is icing on the cake!
