Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
I hunted another one of those hill tops in San Francisco and dug out one of those coins that don't show up very often, in fact I've now only found 3 of them in 35 years
of metal detecting. Only about 2 inches deep in very rocky soil I pop out an 1864 2 cent piece! These coins are probably common on the east cost, but here in California
they rarely ever come up.


Also dug were a metal cap gun that was half a foot deep, 3 Wheaties, 3 tokens, and about $ 5.00 in clad. Some of my oldest coins have come off the hill top parks in San Francisco,
a 1872 half dime, a 1859 seated quarter, and today an 1864 2 cent piece!

Boy, I'm real envious!
That 2-Cent coin is a beaut!
...and is part of MY Bucket List...!
 

Great day! Thanks for sharing your two cents and experience of hunting hilltop parks - always collecting ideas for a future hunt.
 

Real nice detail on the 2 Cent - congrats !
 

...and it was worth it!
Nice hunt! :occasion14:
I'd drive 124 miles for a 2 Cent piece. That one is still on my list of coins that I have yet to find...

Always nice to find a 2 Center CHF. Glad your drive was worth it.
