About This Coin

An unusual coin or token with a webbing-like design unlike anything the team had previously encountered, discovered by Gary Drayton near the Money Pit area during Season 6. Rick Lagina and Dan Henskee were also searching the area at the time, looking for additional fragments of an inscribed stone found nearby.

The coin's denomination, origin, and date have not been determined. No expert analysis or follow-up identification was documented in the episode descriptions. The webbing pattern does not match known European, Spanish, or British coin designs from the colonial period.
