OKIE FINDS SOME TREASURE IN S.E. KANSAS

[sharpshooter]

I've been working in a small town in S.E. Kansas this week and have had a little time to do some beeping at lunch and after work. Unearthed some good stuff (for me anyway). On Tuesday I found the usual clad and a couple of silver coins: 1962-D Quarter & 1958-D Dime.

[size=18pt]Then on Wednesday: A 1952-D Quarter, a tired looking 1925 Wheatie, and the big find for me, an 1865 2-cent piece. The 2-cent piece is the oldest coin by far I've found in over 10 years of detecting.
It's rough looking but I'm still thrilled to get it.

Nice 2-center. I found one in Galena Kansas earlier this summer. My 2 center had a hole in it though.

We need to get acquainted some time. ElDorado is my home but I live in Wichita now. I've hunted all of the schools and parks over the years but never got rich. My best silver came several years ago from the drive in theater. A lot of trash but a lot of silver as well. Currently I have a White's MXT and a Garrett Freedom 3.
