Can't believe I found another one, plus Indians, Barbers etc.

Hit a favorite old park on Sunday. I can't believe I found another 2 cent piece. It's my 6th this year and they are all dated 1864. It's twice as many as I've found in the last 35 years. They have come from 4 different spots spread 120 miles apart. I also picked up a nickel trifecta with a shield nickel, 3 V nickels and a buffalo. They're all toasted, but nice to find. Same goes for the Indians, they are a bit toasted. Of course we all like finding silver and I particularly like finding Barbers and older. It was a great variety for the day and although nothing new, I'm sure a few of these pieces would be on someones bucket list. It was just one of those days where I was swinging my loop in the right spots. I was with 3 buddies, 2 also using a CTX and one using an E-Trac and between them they came up with 3 Indians, a merc and a shield nickel. Sometimes it's just where you swing the loop. HH.

Excellent hunt and awesome finds. A similar thing keeps happening to me where finds of the same type come in bursts. Really liking that 2c piece and hope to find one eventually. Barber silver and indians make any hunt.

My parks don't have any of those. Where you swing the loop indeed... indeed.

Looks like you were swinging the loop in the right places!! Congrats on another 2-center- all but one of the ones I've found have been 1864 or 1865, but when you consider they made 33 million+ of those 2 years and only about 11 mill of all the rest, it's easy to see why. Continued success to you!

Fantastic hunt. :occasion14: You pulled a couple of my bucket listers. I have never pulled 14 old keeper coins in one hunt. The detecting Gods must be on your side.

It sure looks like the park likes you giving up it's treasures, sometimes it's a zig instead of a zag that produces the finds. Congrats on another 2 cent piece they don't come often for many and it seems your on a run.
