Went of today with 2 other members of our club. Tommyboy72 and HEBGB. I took them to a spot that i have been mapping out the past few weeks. We hunted a couple sites that I have hit a few times already, but Tommyboy72 ended up with the only find at that location. I decided to take them to one more spot that I had seen just off the road that was a old homesite with a celler hole. Tommyboy72 found a Indian Head penny right off. I went to the celler hole location a got a nice medium tone just 2 feet from the hole. When I first pulled out the target I thought it was a Shield Nickel. I showed it to some younger eyes (Tommyboy72) and he said you have a 1865 2 Cent Piece. Here is my find of the day. HH

I love the two cent'r, it is very far and in between to find mid 1800 coins down here in South Texas, but maybe someday a 2 or 3 cent will pop out. Congratulation :thumbsup:

I use a very low voltage and amperage electrolysis. I also use baking soda to make the water more conductive.
 

What a cool coin to find... maybe just maybe someday I will find one of those HH Jim
