With the deer hunter gone 
I moved in for the kill 
. Even with today being the last day of the mild weather ![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
, I'm going back the rest of the week even if it's cold again 
. There is so many places to hunt here 
. I included a lot of pictures so you can get an idea how much land I have to cover. I first started up around the house and the front yard with my sniper coil. (I need to put the big one back on) so I can cover more area. I wasn't 1 hour into the hunt and on the North side of the house under the clothes line (I don't think it has been there that long) I had a nice penny dime hit at 6 inches. I knew it was a coin. Dug down into the rich, dark and damp soil, put the probe in and heard the humming of the pin pointer 
. Pulled it out figuring it was a penny and lightly rubbed the dirt away and to my astonishment I didn't recognize the coin 
. A little more cleaning then revealed the 2 cent symbol I was soooo excited as this is my first 
. I knew it was something I did not recognize so it wasn't an IH or LC buy it's size. It's the first year of the 2 cent piece too (1864-1873) so it's Civil War Era. I also so found some What's it's and 3 Winchester Repeater 16 Ga. shot shell bottoms, an old looking brass shell which has 2 firing pin marks and a "C" on the bottom, a few wheaties, a few memorials, a cutex lipstick thingy, some kind of small thin gear thingy, some kind of tag with several patent dates on it and some other thingys in which I have no idea . I have the 2 center bathing right now so I will take some better pics once it's had it's manicure 
Enjoy the pics as I have included a lot tonight 
. Also at the end of the pictures is a little bit of history about the coin.Thanks for looking

New cleaned up pics added on the end

Congrats on such an excellent find. I am happy for you and only a wee bit jealous.
