Yesterday I found a couple of Firsts for me. :happy:

First coin from 1800's
First 2 Center - 1865
First Indian Head Penny - 1880

Here is the 2 Center after mild cleaning and soaking in mineral oil overnight. The IH is still soaking.

Congrats on your firsts, especially the awesome two cent piece! |:cheering:

That's a terrific coin, and it appears to be in decent shape. I remember what a thrill it was when I found my first two cent piece last year.

yep, these were found in Keene.

After more soaking, they should clean up even nicer.
Thanks All.

Very exciting to knock two off the list in one hunt....or three (1st 1800s). I was up to Concord for a hunt last year...didn't do as well as you. Congrats and keep it up. |:cheering:

:congrats: on some nice firsts. I have yet to find a two cent piece and it's on my list. My in-laws lived in Keene before they passed on so I know the place pretty well but that was before I started metal detecting.

Continued good hunting.

Congrats on the firsts! The 2 center is one not found that often, so congrats! Where were you hunting, a yard, park?

An old park.
I'm hoping it will clean up a little better after a long soaking. Still haven't tried cleaning the IH.
