Vicky fish! They’re nicknamed “fish scales” because they’re so thin and small. That’s a great find In tough conditions!

Congrats on a very nice find. In my 41 years of detecting I've only found one of those, so I know they're not an easy thing to get.

Nice save .Congrats on the fish scale. You don't see to many of them posted. I was lucky enough to find one earlier this year and like you I thought it was too thin to be a real coin, I thought it was one of those play money dimes. It came in at 67 on the 900. Again congrats and good luck. Mark

That's exactly what I thought it was! I found a few of those play dimes in my yard as well. Now I'll have to go clean a couple hahaaa

Sweet! Very nice find! What device settings were you running on the AT Max? I also use that device and am always trying to refine the conditions on the device under different environments. Ground conditions?

You must have been using a big coil to find that at 10 inches with a Garrett and near nails too!
