1833 coin found

[DPBOB]

I only had 1 1/2 hours before I had to be at my sons youth group meeting. Drove 10- 15 min to find a place to hunt. Found a parkway area. Was hunting it for about 45 min when I got a Quarter signal about 1 1/2 inches deep. Pull the Quarter out checked the hole again and got a Penny dime signal about 4 inched . Pulled out the coin and saw 2 cents on it .COOL Got the phone call that I had to be at the meeting .. I left .I Pulled the coin out and started cleaning it while walking into the meeting..WOW was I suprised when I saw the 1833 date..

It turns out to be a 1833 2 cent coin from>>>>>> BELGIUM <<<<<<<

When I got home I cleaned it with a toothbrush and water and then put some Olive Oil on it. It turned out pretty clean...

I knicked it in 2 places on the edge cause the ground was hard clay.

MY SECOND OLDEST COIN........ Also found $1.07 in clad and 3 wheaties and a token
