I searched a park from 2:30- 3:30pm today found all trash. Searching my yard again at around 7:15pm until around 8:15pm. Found a little trash two nails and some foil. Switched to coin mode and found a 1865 2 cent piece in the same area I found a 1911 wheat. That is two old coins For my 1800's yard. I think my neighbor searched the place before we bought it. I just think it would have more coins. Not just old ones but modern ones too.

Here are some pics!!

Way to go Mud. That is a GREAT coin. You got it all going on now. HH
 

Great work, MUD!! Great coin! ?:o ?Your persistence payed off. ?

Now we'll never have to look at the "disappointed digger" picture again, right? ? Right?
 

That is one good looking coin... Looks to be in great shape... WTG!!!
Good luck on the next one...
 

Mud its all about the Hunt! see you just have to keep looking if you dont! you wont find the old stuff i have been hunting a ghost town here in southern Utah about 18mths and i have found 9 silvercoins from the 1800's 5 chineses coins from the 1700's a "US" Belt buckle a lot of buttons and iron buckles and so on. but had i given up after not finding anything for the first few weeks i would have missed out. so just look at all the coins you still have left to find do some reserch and look for places people may have camped,old farms,old school house,battle sites,wagon roads,Ghost towns, i dont know what state you are in but theres a lot more finds where that came from. just keep up the good work and good luck let us know if theres any thing you need help in finding I will be glade to help! HH Harvey! ? ? ?
 

I have an 1865 Phila. Inquirer newspaper that sold for 2 cents. Wanna buy it SWAT??.....LOL It has an ad for a coloured litho portraying Booth standing behind Lincoln and the devil standing behind Booth with a pitchfork. The litho sold for 2 bucks.
