Got a nice 21 target in the Nox on a lunch hunt at a lost 1800?s farm site in the park.

Then made it back to my not so new anymore local park cellar hole and got another one and a key date IHP.

The second one cleaned up pretty good.

The finds are getting scarce at this site. Here is the small handful.

The third tea house size pewter tea cup popped today as well.

Good luck out there!

Omg that is THE MOST beautiful 2 cent piece I?ve ever seen. The date is pristine. Congratulations my friend that would be a hunt to remember the way my year is going and it couldn?t happen to a better guy!

That green patina in the dirt clump is a magnificent pic. I?d take a dirt clump with that color, gold or silver every time if I could...

Thx for the kind words! The metal content in the 2s survives pretty well in our dirt.

Wow! Awesome finds!!! Congrats!

Thx!

Thx Steve! These 2s and 3 cent nickels seem to pop with some regularity in our neck of the woods.

Awesome Hunt. I found 2 cent pcs one day, and landowner came by to see if i was finding anything. when i showed him, he asked could he have one. you can't say no... Awesome saves!!

Ah man! I hope you have another one in your collection.

Nice haul Thad.

The two centers don't come up often.

I actually got two or three of them this season myself.

Didn't get out this weekend. Starting to get the itch though.

Hope to get a fathers day hunt in though.

While I generally prefer coins with a portrait on them, I really like the design of the two cent pieces. That 1865 is in nice shape, and I love the Civil War era date. Congrats on the great finds.
