Out for an hour in the rain . Took my AT out for the first time this year . My Etrac dosent like the downpoor for some reason . Only one good target today . I dug a beautiful 1865 2 cent piece . I have dug four of them before this but this one is in amazing condition and I am happy to finally have a nice example. Im glad I went out and played in the rain :-D :-D

That is in great shape, nice find.
 

two-cent piece is on my bucket list - someday I'll find one..............
 

That's a beautiful coin!!!! I bet you were thrilled when you knew what you had in your hand.

I didn't dig any last year at all so when I saw it in the plug I thought nickel . Then I saw the shield and thought I dug my first shield nickel . Wrong again lol. It wasn't till I rubbed the front and saw the 2 that it dawned on me what I had
 

That's a pretty sweet 2-cent, nice job
 

Nice find and in nice condition. Found 7 two cent pieces last year and 6 of them were 1864. Only one was an 1865. Congrats.
 

That's in really great shape. Congrats! Out of curiousity, what number did that ring up at with the AT-Pro?
 

It was mixed in with a bunch of iron . So I couldnt get a decent number on it. I was more digging the high tone I keep hearing peaking through.
 

Sometimes those short hunts can be the best, congrats
 

Real sweet coin, it didn't spend much time in circulation from the look.Congrats.
 

I agree . I love the detail and that green patina really makes it pop out
 

Very nice coin recovery, congratulations! :occasion14:
 

I've found 2-1865 2centers. Within a week of each other at 2 separate sites! Lol very common year I guess? Nice find great looking coin!
