Got out to a house today that was build around 1857. Pretty slow going with lots of null from nails. Got a solid signal and saw the big disc. Was really hoping it was a large cent, but she's -Canadian. At least I haven't found this design before.

    Agreed! I think the 1800s people in my area had a time machine and used it to come to the future to bring back zincolns and pull tabs to drop...

    Nice holey specimen! As a collector of holeys I'm very jealous!
