Today was my first time out detecting in over a month. First spot was well worked over. Not much to mention but a few wheat pennies oldest being a 1919. I think that's my 14th 1919. LOL! My buddy found a 1940 quarter, he was excited seeing it was his first silver quarter. Second site was a much older site, found a few LC's, two civil war tokens and about 12 IH's last fall. Anyway to make a long story short found my second 2 cent coin ever, its a 1864. Still needs to be cleaned. More pontil bases and some clay pipe stems. Also other odds and ends. Oh and what looks to be a trigger guard my friend found. We both walked away happy!!! 001.JPG 002.JPG 007.JPG 008.JPG

:thumbsup:One of the hardest coins to find, especially on the west coast. In 25 years of hunting I've only found one. Nice find!:thumbsup:

It is a tooth, from a dog? Everything not metal were simple surface finds..

Just want to say.... All my bottle digging and metal detecting finds of 2014 are dedicated to the late great Surf.. I will miss you and you your knowledge. I will miss your insight.
