Doing just fine on my own. Dug my first 2 cent piece!!

I managed to get out into the corn fields of southern Indiana today. I got permission to hunt a 45 acre field adjacent to an old farm house that was built in the 1880's. The property had been split up, so I didn't have permission to hunt around the house. There was a spring out in the middle of the field with a nice high spot close by, so that's where I started. Never did find an iron patch, but got a nice signal that turned out to be a 2 Cent piece.

Must have been a random drop. She's pretty crusty, but it's my first so I'll take it. I managed to clean it up enough to see a "2".

I'll keep working on it. Maybe I'll be able to get a date. It was nice getting out there for a little while. I still have the back section by the creek to hunt, but the sun was setting, and the full moon was rising.

Thanks for looking, and happy hunting!!

Thanks. Now that I've found one, you'll find 2 this season. Just like the 1/2 cent. It's good getting out. Especially on a 55 degree day in January!

HH!
