My best days detecting shared with great friends...

[markgPA]

Hi Everyone,
Let me first tell you about TnT2000, KenPA and wife Linda, & JohnyMc. We've been hunting together for some time now and I couldn't find better people to share this hobby with. We share information, and when hunting in a huge area, we radio each other when we stumble onto a hot spot to get everyone in there.
Now onto the finds. Ken got us into a new spot 'bout a mile from the "off the beaten trail spot". Man is this site hot. I hunted a little on Friday, a few hours Saturday and a couple hours after Easter Mass. On Friday, I got my first Flying Eagle cent (no date), a couple IH's, and my first silver in almost 5 months a Merc (42) and a Barber dime (02). The merc was in a hole with 8 wheaties.
Saturday I was back in the same area finding nothing, so I moved about 200 yards to the other end of the wood lot. Man did that payoff. I got three 2 centers, some more IH's, and another Barber dime (07). One of the 2 cent pieces is 12 sided and I can't find any information about it. Sunday we were right back in there. I got some more IH's and 2 V's (1883 and 1895). Just as I was leaving, Ken and his wife pulled seated dimes and I had to stay for 10 more minutes. I got lucky and pulled an 1875cc seated dime about 15 yards from Ken.
I also got some nice buttons, a ring, a handfull of wheaties & clad, and other relics. All in all, this was the best three day outing I've ever had.
Thanks for reading and HH,
Mark

PS IH dates (1860, (2) 1864, 1865, 1867, 1890, 1897)

WOW Marc !

Awsome Post of Finds.

a Definate BEST of TreasureNet.
But I'll leave it here for a couple days yet.

On your 1864 2 Center, Are you leaving something out ?

Have you said so, & I missed it ?

Or am I seeing Wrong ?

When I zoom in, It appears there is a Piece of
metal added. Maby this was a Neckless
& the loop Broke off.

Hopefully you can see what I'm referring to here.

Hi Jeff,
I don't have the coin with me at work, but I will take a look when I get home. I need to get a loop. I've been using a kid's magnifying glass and it is only like 4X. I can't imagine how someone did that to the coin. It is a real neat piece even if it was altered.
Thanks for the comments.

Thanks for all the great posts everyone. I was out last night with KenPA, TNT, and JohnyMc and I dug another 5 IH's. The dates were 1863, 64, 65, 93, and 05. I didn't take a pic yet, but they are all pretty crummy, except for the 63.
Thanks again and we'll keep everyone posted.

Holy $h!t that is one good haul. And the weird 2-cent...it looks like someone had too much time on their hands. Nomination for Best of TNet!

It could have been a Carnival Piece.
Altered for the purpose of making money off it.

Sort of Like Love tokens, But
as I said made into a neckless.
the inside of the coins Rim appears altered also.

Definately a One of a Kind Find.

Congrats on the great finds! The 12 sided two center was probably a token or good luck piece. I found a Large cent that was six sided. That looks to be a heck of a site! That 1875 cc dime appears to be in excellant shape. post a close up of it please. WTG and HH.
