this hunt today came from the new permission i received after last weeks silver spoon. we went into the property thinking it was going to be loaded with coins and that just wasn't the case however by lunch i had only one coin to show for my effort . however the 1956 silver quarter was my first silver quarter ever!! after lunch we came back feeling like there should be more when i hit a solid 82 on my nokta impact vlx2 mode on 5khz.
i dug the target and cleaned it but i was confused . i thought i had a shield nickel because all i could really make out at the time was the shield on the back ,but the coin rang copper so i hit the google machine and cleaned it as best i could . i realized it was a 2 cent piece , but unfortunately someone drilled it or something so no date on it . P8170403.jpg P8170405.jpg P8170404.jpg P8170408.jpg finished my day with a 1941 merc dime so my first 2 silver day my first 2cent piece and my first silver quarter . all within a month of having my new detector.

its a lot of fun finding something that you aren't sure what it is .... when i saw the 2 i was floored it sucks i cant make a date off of it i can only make one number and that is a 7 so its 1867, 1870, 1871, or 1872 pretty toasty and clean

Congrats on the 2 cent piece and also your first silver quarter. I was fortunate enough to find an 1864 2 cent about a week or two ago.

Congratulations on a great day filled with firsts. That permission was very nice to you. Hopefully there is still more to come.
