Always good to dig up a bucket list find! It's an 1864 two cent piece! About 6 inches down with a penny-dime signal. A little toasted, but not too bad. Hard to read the date in the photos, but it's definitely a number "4" at the end of the date.

Haven't found any silver coins at this spot, but I have found four awesome coppers there. 1798 draped bust LC, 1859 IHC, 1864 IHC and now the 1864 two cent piece. Someone must have cherry picked all the silvers and most of the coppers, but they did miss a few good ones!

Here's a few pics:

Yep, I'd say they missed some good ones. It seems lots of people don't dig the mid tones. Nice find!
