[tav396]

Went out this morning (in the cold) instead of work. Found my first two cent piece. The other stuff is cool two but im stoked with the condition of that 2er.The 1902 indian is crisp too,full liberty and feathers. Anybody know what that tear shaped button looking thing is?

Congrats! For making the "right" choice MD'ing over work! Whoops! Did I say that out loud?
The small one looks like a small buckle, guessing.
That is an awesome 2 cent piece. I am still looking for any 2cent piece! Actually....sob! Anything other than can slaw and clad! Sob!
Congrats! Really awesome!

Ok what's the ring! Silver?

Great job, I remember how stoked i was when I found my first one an 1865 also. It only took 3 years, lol Congats!!

Nice finds...But I'd like to see pics of the relics too..the tag in top right looks to be interesting...

"The Dude Abides" Great finds amigo ! I sure hope my first Indian Head cent looks that hot - the two C. is a looker as well ! I
too am wondering about the ring - with all that ornamental detail , could it be white gold ?

 

[tav396]

The ring is sterling, main stone is missing. The miners tag at top right is common around here, coal country. The butterfly was silver plate, main stone was missing. found two Indians in same hole near the butterfly. great day! will try to take another pik. The 2c was my focus for the day

Very nice recovery. That one is still on my wish list

Sweet 2 center tav! I found an 1868 in about the same condition and thought it was play money until I got it home and cleaned it up. It's one of the coolest coins ever made in my book. Congratulations!

The 2 cent coin and IH penny are in really great shape. To help my knowledge increase what is the composition of the 2 center? Congratulations on a really nice hunt.

[treblehunter]

Great finds, I'd say that teardrop might be a little brooch or earring? I'm still looking for some 2 centers.

That 2 cent is in amazing shape, mine all have green stuff on them. Your soil must be quite different than here in WI. Congrats!
