Now that's what I call a HUNT! :headbang: A potpourri of finds & all old :thumbsup: Great job on the video too. BTW, welcome to the two cent club :hello2: My first 'old' coin was a 1864 two center. They're not easy to find, so, revel in the glory for a while :headbang:

Except for cringing every time you hand wiped that two-center with those sandpaper gloves, that was a fun video.
Killer token, nice and early one.

That 2 cent coin is gorgeous! I'm envious of your detecting site there, probably a lot more great stuff to unearth. Good video as well...but I agree the rubbing was a little painful.

Some nice finds there. I have to ask though, do all of your old plugs die like the one shown by where you found the indian? Perhaps some water would help.

Great video! Don't even know if I have a shot at a 2 center here in S. Calif. but I would kill for one :laughing9:. Yours must not have been in circulation long, what great detail. You've got a great spot. I'd be pounding and grid searching that spot :icon_thumright: Nice assortment of finds and Congrats on your 1st 2 center. :wav: :blob8:
