I was doing a low key, relaxing bay beach run looking for some long shot late season recent jewelry drops, but pulling mostly the expected clad, junk earrings, e-cig parts, bottlecaps, and pull tabs. Then the Deus hit a weird high 70's signal with odd audio in full tones. When I first plopped the target onto the sand from the scoop, it looked like the outline of just another clad quarter except for the strange light green corrosion. Weird, because I wasn't even expecting a coin at all based on the Deus audio and target ID. Looking closer, I realized this was no quarter. I could make out the faint outline of a shield and an 1800's date stamp. Sure, I've pulled wheaties and mercs off this beach but mostly clad and modern jewelry. So this was a complete but pleasant surprise. Ironically, I pulled my first 2-cent piece off the beach instead of from the Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania relic fields that I thought would eventually give one up. Strange, but I'm not complaining. I wish this coin could talk and give me it's two cents worth and tell me how the heck an 1864 two-cent piece ended up in the recent dry fill sand of an eastern shore bay beach. Go figure. That's what keeps this hobby exciting. Expect the unexpected.
