2 Cent Piece, Indian, Ipod, and other goodies

[Jack(IN)]

Finally had a chance to get out, great weather, ground thawed, and an desire to dig. Only had a couple hours and headed to the Park 1/2 mile from me. Got out of the car, walking to the slope where the sledders had been, on the ground were two bills, a $1 and a $10. I thought it was going to be a good day. I took my time slowly swinging the Explorer finding a quarter, a dime, a couple pennies before I hit a deeper signal(deeper than surface clad). I dug my first wheatie(1909), then another 1940. I slowed down and hit a low tone which turned out to be a 1943 War Nickel. I just continued to hunt slow and popped out the 1883 Indian, and the alarm went off as I got my last signal and what a pleasant surprise pulling out the 1868 2 Cent piece. What a way to end the day I was thinking looking along the ground as I walked back to the car. That's where I found the iPod(which works). Shame every day isn't like this!! To be honest, if I hadn't found anything I'd have been happy just to get out and play in the dirt!! The goodies just make it sweeter!!

I love finding them, can't seem to find a Large Cent to save my life(1 in 25 years), but have around 15 two centers!!

With my daughter older and her mom working full time, finding time gets harder and harder. I worked most of the night just to have the time today to hunt. Then you throw in some warm February weather and soft ground and just made for a great day. Not the great OLD coins you find, but I'm enjoying it.

What a great day ya had Jack! This weather sure is a nice break from the snow and cold just over a week ago!

Hope you are able to find some more time soon and get back out there. With luck like that, maybe you should take that $11 and get ya a Powerball ticket for tomorrow night! I put 2 quarters in the pop machine at work last night, pressed the Mountain Dew button, and got a Coke AND a Mountain Dew, plus 10 nickels in change!

Congrats!

Looks good Jack! Can't say you don't believe in variety.
I just bought some Ratphones. Nice and comfortable, but won't get to use them much for a while because I'll be voluteering with AARP doing taxes until April, besides working. I also need to get a new battery for the XLT. It gave out after five years and won't hold a charge for three days now even if not used.
Good hunting.
