Howdy Folks. Pics first. Story to follow. Ok.Tech issues. Back to the field I scored the 2 cent piece Sunday. 40 minutes into the hunt thunder & lighting was bearing down on me. I said a quick but, sincere prayer for just one nice find. Got a solid high VDI signal and pinpointed the shallow target. Popped out my second two cent piece in as many days. Praised my Father and beat feet for the Command Vehicle as the storm was right upon me. What a wonderful reprieve for January. BTW, I love green coins!!! The picture with all three of my 2 cent pieces dug in nine years hunting. Two of them in the last two days. Wow...Thanks for stopping by. Kurios1

An excellent group of two cent coins.And for some strange reason most of my two cent coins came out looking better than a lot of my large cents.

Did anyone mention that this is the first coin with "In God we trust" on it?

Those are pretty coins, they seem to always have a nice patina. They don't turn up too often, I might have nine or ten. I can go several years without finding one. But one year I found four of them, including two on back to back signals

My sincere gratitude and appreciation for T-net and every member who posts their finds or offers commentary of support and encouragement. You all have challenged me to rediscover my passion for treasure hunting. Along with sharing your knowledge and experience for others to glean from. Your collective influence has led me to many fantastic recoveries since I became active here. Continue in the great work you are doing here that many more may come to experience the joys of this wonderful sport.
