Another 1st from the 3 cent site

Another 1st (near perfect 2 cent) from the 3 cent site!

​Well after digging my 1st 3 center yesterday, (see IL. Forum) I could hardly wait to get back to the spot today. Took a 3 hour lunchbreak starting at noon and met up with Eric there. I showed him the 2 plugs from yesterday for the 3 cent and the 1867 shield nik. The good thing was they are about 50" from each other so we each had a claim. Mine was the silver spot. After an hour of nothing we eventually swapped areas without a word spoken. Another 10mins of what Eric had just gridded with his Etrac and I was ready for plan B, a new spot I have never been to but lots of History there. No sooner after yelling over to him to change venues, I hit a fairly solid signal, next to big iron. I had Eric scan it and he thinks its iron and I must just be off target a bit making it sound like something better
Well, it turns out to be on of my best finds ever. Not only my first 2 center, but in perfect condition too. My only other finds were the 2 IH's. No clad at this spot!

WOW! Those are awesome coins! No modern trash and the coins are in fantastic shape, what do you have in your soil there that dissolves trash metal and cleans the good stuff? Magic soil? Congrats!

Thanks, don't know about the soil here but many of our IH's come up
looking great. These coins were only lightly rinsed with water and hit with a soft toothbrush.
I then rub a little oil on them and a bit of polishing on my jeans.
This site was a pre Civil War era sawmill, so never any fertlizer spread.

Without the photos, it would be hard to convince someone that the coin came from the ground! Gorgeous 2 center.

Thanks Terpfan! If my buddy and I didn't see it come up, I probably wouldn'y believe it either.

That is ABSURD! They look like they were never dropped! Wish I had some of that soil in my neck of the woods!
