New Years day hunt,my 2 cent's worth!

Had some time New Years day so I went to a teardown where they are widening the highway. I have heard this was an old farmhouse. Five miutes after starting I hit "43 Merc. a good way to start. Soon after, I had another merc, a "44" this time. Hit a few "wheaties" in between. About a foot from the last wheat I had a different kind of signal,the ground was packed from heavy equipment,so the dirt was coming out in chunks. I flipped a few chunks out and I saw what I thought was a nickel laying on the edge of the hole. I picked it up and brushed it off a little and holy smokes, I almost fell over! I was holding an "1865" 2 center! I have been detecting for a little over a year and I never thought I would find something like this. I'm still pretty excited about it! Ended up with the 2 center,the two mercury's and four wheats,a 1913D,1918,1940 and a 1944. A nice way to start the year.

That 2 center is a beauty! Nice day!
 

Re: New Years day hunt,my 2 cent's worth!

:o I am amazed at the condition of some of your coins that come out of the ground. Makes me really jealous :-\ If that was pulled out of the ground where I live, you wouldn't even be able to tell it was a coin. :-[

Guess I will just have to go for the silver then ;D ;D

WTG, Great looking coin! And yes, I am jealous!

I love those frickin' 2-centers! I found an 1864 last year with a striking error. WTG, bud!
 

Re: New Years day hunt,my 2 cent's worth!

One of these sold for 32 bucks on ebay awhile back.
 

Re: New Years day hunt,my 2 cent's worth!

Hey Shootist,
I am in the learning process about coins,what is an airtight and why does it need to be in one? I am assuming it is an airtight container and the ouside air will deteriorate a coin? Are these containers available anywhere? If you look at the coin with a loupe there is some old damage across the shield side.
