Out for an hour in the rain . Took my AT out for the first time this year . My Etrac dosent like the downpoor for some reason . Only one good target today . I dug a beautiful 1865 2 cent piece . I have dug four of them before this but this one is in amazing condition and I am happy to finally have a nice example. Im glad I went out and played in the rain :-D :-D

Beautiful old coin.
I've had some great luck in the rain. That muddy ground really brings out the targets.
Congrats.

That is an excellent looking 2 Cent Piece. That was one hour well spent in the rain.
