What my son just foundHey guys, I'm a newbie on here. I bought a couple detectors for my son and myself. We've gone out MD'ing three times now.
Well, I talked him into going up to a church around the corner for an hour or so.
He pulled a coin out of the ground as we were leaving that was dated 1801-1809, had a picture of Thomas Jefferson on it and had the inscription:
The Author of the Declaration of Independence
Ambassador to France
Purchase or Louisiana
Something Scholar
Any ideas?
Maybe a
comemorative coin?

Tried to take a picture but my camera just won't focus inclose enough to see anything on the coin. Got any photography tips for shooting coins?

What your son found sounds like a brass token featuring the Presidents of the U.S. I think they were produced in the 1950's and were a series of collectibles for kids. Thomas Jefferson was our third President and served from 1801-1809, hence the date inscription. I have found a couple of these myself and our club President, Charlie Jones, is the one that told me about them.
