Started out the New Year right yesterday(My calender year ended on the 30th) with my first 2 Cent Piece. Found it with Lostlake in his seated coin garden(old park). I didn't think all that much of the signal, until I saw the coin and that lovely green color. I thought it was a two center, but had to wait until I cleaned it off in the drinking fountain. Lostlake took a video, maybe he will post it.

Jon,
Congrats on your 2Cent Piece find!!!

What a beauty. That coin is in great shape!

Nice to have a good friend like Brett who shared his hunting grounds.

Hope to visit you guys sometime in the spring or summer to get in a hunt with you guys.

Very Sweet. Was that found in the "ghetto"?

I've been to Cincinnati once. Long drive. Was speaking at the University of Cincinnati. A lot of history along the Ohio river.

Enjoy - it's in great condition! :icon_sunny:

Sweet find !
 

Thanks for all the comments. Glad you guys liked the coin. It was fun to find. Every 2 center I have seen from around here is in at least as good condition as the one I found. They do really well in the ground here for some reason. Indian Heads do well also...
Wasabi- Actually, I found the spot, but Lostlake goes to it so much it is his. We don't really claim ownership on sites, and don't care about when sites are shared.
Mirage- Not a ghetto park. Come down here, and I will take you around. What were you speaking on at UC?
Regards,

Now that is a beautiful coin! :thumbsup:
I dug my first 2-cent about a week ago, and yours is 100% better looking than mine. :tongue3:
Congrats & enjoyed the video.

Jon,

Wowwwww!
What a great find, and in such beautiful shape. Never had the feeling of digging one of those yet, but maybe in 2010.
