my best hunt this year

[scribben]

this hunt today came from the new permission i received after last weeks silver spoon. we went into the property thinking it was going to be loaded with coins and that just wasn't the case however by lunch i had only one coin to show for my effort . however the 1956 silver quarter was my first silver quarter ever!! after lunch we came back feeling like there should be more when i hit a solid 82 on my nokta impact vlx2 mode on 5khz.
i dug the target and cleaned it but i was confused . i thought i had a shield nickel because all i could really make out at the time was the shield on the back ,but the coin rang copper so i hit the google machine and cleaned it as best i could . i realized it was a 2 cent piece , but unfortunately someone drilled it or something so no date on it . finished my day with a 1941 merc dime so my first 2 silver day my first 2cent piece and my first silver quarter . all within a month of having my new detector.

Very nice finds , ill take a 2 center holed or not , Silver is 'Always' a thrill .

It takes a certain personality type to 'get' detecting especially when we are only finding Common Items $4 Silver , $2 Civil War 3 Ringers. but To us it's history & the excitement of a child finding 'Treasure'!

+If you don't have to have every new gadget or the "Best" of everything it's a money saving / Finding Hobby.

P.S. I be scared to death to ask permission on that nice home-site.

Great score on notching off a pair of bucket list coins! Looks like ya'll could use some rain to moisten up that soil. Make sure you don't "kill" the grass on permissions when the ground is too dry. I try not to hunt nicer spots until after soaking rains. You are doing well with that Impact. Trying different programs and things will help you get more targets I suppose. Thanks for sharing and the pics too.

I recently found a 2¢ piece and was thrilled! I can't read the date at all on mine . I see that quite a few coins are found with holes in them. I think it would be cool to find a holed coin knowing it used to be tied up so as not to get lost....but got lost anyway!

Congrats with a great score of coins. Ive yet to dig a 2 cent. I have found hammered cobs, 8 reals, even a 1852 gold one dollar coin but no 2 cent piece. Don't stress over the condition, the value is finding these cool relics and preserving history.
