It wasn't a quarter...a closer look revealed a shield and a date - "1864" through the pale green crud which must have been affecting the signal.  Sure enough, I dug my first 2 cent piece in a very unlikely place.

You're at least the 4th person in the last year who has found an 1864 USA 2-cent piece and posted a pic here on the forum.  The $50,000 question (well, it's not worth *that* much 😁) is whether it's large or small motto.  (So far the rest of us have only had the lower valued large lettered version.)

Welcome to the club, although it's getting less exclusive all the time!  If yours is the rare small motto, though, then you've started a new club, and that clearly qualifies as 'exclusive'.  Hope that's the case.
