Hunted 2 different spots today. First, I spent about three hours in a wooded area I had been hunting prior to the big February snow falls. I was glad to see that most of the snow has melted by now. I was not glad to see that first little deer tick on my sleeve, which I imediately toasted. After that I was gingerly stepping around trying to avoid rubbing against any brush. It was tough to do. Besides, I wasn't finding much. I was lucky to find an 1865 2 Cent piece about 8 inches deep. Also found a couple pennies and a neat little dog collar buckle.

After that I drove to one of the ball fields I had searched back in the fall and early winter. The infield was half mud with about an inch of snow remaining along the third base line. After about an hour of finding only a couple pennies, I concentrated my efforts around the pitchers mound. And about 4 feet to the right of the mound I got a nice silver dime signal about nine inches deep. After a couple minutes of careful digging, up popped a pretty 1896 Barber Dime.

Here's the pretty little Barber:

Next the not so pretty 2 Cent piece. It's got alot of green corrosion on it.

And finally, the neat little doggie collar buckle:

Took me years before I ever dug a two-center, both are sure purty!
 
First "keeper" coin I ever recovered was a 2 center...40+ years ago. And I've only gotten one more since! :(

Good shot & HH!
