I would say you *did* sweat the small stuff.  USA silver 3 cent piece on left is 14 mm diameter (~9/16 inch).  I've never found one but do have one in my test kit. It really looks small compared to say a USA 10 cent (dime) at 19 mm.  (Never found a 15.5 cm half dime, either.)

The coin on right scales (from the photo) to 11 mm diameter.  Are you going to tell us what it is?

Bolivian 1/4 Reale. 👍 This is what the other side looks like:

Nice find! Probably "takes the cake" for small coins on this side of the pond.

When I found the 2 trimes that I have, it was with the Nox 800 and had no problem when I got over them.

They both rang out loud and clear, but with saying that the NOX always hit the silver loud and clear.

I know something smaller than the trime would be harder to find, but if it was under the coil just right it would ring out loud also.

Good luck and stay safe.
