11 cents in 10 old coins!

cjon455 · May 7, 2015

Dave and I were out on a permission seeking day, 3rd house we tried we got a yes, not too much there even though it was very old, I got 6 wheats, the pocket knife, the square do-dad thing and the hurlitzer tootsie toy, I thought that was pretty cool. We drove for a while only knocking on a few more doors, Dave ended up getting permission for us at a nice older home where a woman was cutting the grass, we only had less then an hour to detect because we had to go when she was done cutting. Anyhow, I managed a 3 more wheats and the surprise of the day :headbang:

1865 2 Center!! :headbang:

rang in a solid 10-42 on the etrac at about 4 inches!, I dug into the sidewall and pried upwards and the familiar green disk pops right out of the hole! With a big koolaid smile, I had to run over to dave and show him my find of the day! the owner was done cutting the grass so we left shortly after that, and were granted permission to come back anytime!,

we also scouted a bit more while we were in this nice old town, dave also got us permission for next week at an EARLY 1800s home, guy said "come back next week", I got a good feeling about this town!

notice the top row of clad below the tootsie toy, it was shiny because it was part of a clad spill, got the heart pumping a bit at first when I thought I saw silver!, oh well next time, Thanks for looking and hh!!

Thanks dave!, I'm pumped for my 3rd 2 center, but even more pumped for the potential of that town!

I sent Will a dropped pin for the shower house lol. He will probably work his magic. Katrina had never seen a 2 center before. She says the obverse is a beautiful coin.

Way to go! Like I said to ya earlier. it amazes me how awesome the 2 centers look after all that time in the dirt. I have been lucky that I found one. You found 3. Awesome! Nice to see some cleaner wheats come out of the area for a change too.

Just took a look. I could tell you this much. It looks like it was a Parsonage House in 1869.
