2-Cent Piece + Merc

[angellionel]

Today I had a chance to get in some detecting for a few hours, but where to go? :thinkingabout: A small park in Connecticut had to do. The place was a target desert though, where even trash appears to have been vacuumed out. :shocked01: But I did manage to scrounge some keepers. :happydance01:

This is my eight 2-Cent piece this year, and my 15th since last year. :peace:

I picked up one silver as well. The 'coin' next to the mercury dime has no detail. I have no idea what it may be. :confused:

With the itch scratched, I now look forward to Saturday. :happydance01:

There have been quite a few 2-Center posted this year. :yes: They will soon go into hiding again. lol The musket balls sure do sound good when deep, and at old sites they make one think an old coin is waiting to be dug. lol

Eight 2 centers so far this year, you are a magnet. Congrats on getting your itch out of the way, but I don't think you can wait till Saturday.

[milco]

Nice finds, I too don't think one can wait until Saturday!

[Epi-hunter]

Angel.... nice finds! Sounds like you had a great day out. Hope you can wait until Saturday! :yes:

[jkress]

Great bunch of keepers Angel. :clapping: Silver and a Merc would definitely have me happy dancing all over the place.
You have a very nice handful of 2 Centers. 15 since last year is outstanding.
Congrats.




They will soon go into hiding again. lol

Yes, this is correct. The 2 Cent mating season typically runs from mid May through the end of July. As with any species they do become
somewhat more vulnerable to predators during this time.

I will have to change my hunting strategy then. :cheesysmile: lol

[Beefcake]

Awesome Angel!!! I agree, there has been quite a few 2centers pop up in the last few weeks... Everywhere except my holes that is! I'm still waiting on my first one...

There are three positives in life, paying taxes, dying, and Angel finding old coins wherever he goes. :clapping:

One thing is for certain....take the E-Trac out of his hands and he will go through withdrawal. :barf:

[Tony Two-Cent]

Love them two-cent pieces! :smitten:

Congrats on the successful hunt, Angel! :clapping:

[RobW]

Great finds Angel |:confused:)

That 2 Center hasn't found it's way to my hunting pouch yet this year...still a few more months of the season :yes:

[JTGOLD]

[randy]

Congrats on pulling some keepers out of that hunted out site. You never cease to amaze, Angel.

[Mudder]

Very nice haul, I can never wait till Saturday. The itch never gets completely scratched.

[russellt]

you guys are killing me .. thats awesome

[coinnut]

One thing is for certain....take the E-Trac out of his hands and he will go through withdrawal. :barf:


He will not survive lol

Nice looking two cent piece and another large motto :hairpulling: lol It cleaned up really well considering the uncleaned picture of it :shocked04: I wonder if that other coin is an old shield or V nickel? :confused: Come on Saturday :daydream:

[Ill Digger]

... Everywhere except my holes that is! I'm still waiting on my first one...
You and me both brother! :-\ :crying02:
:shocked04: I'd say that was a time well spent :yes: It might be years before I ever find a 2 center 8/
Another great hunt Angel! |:confused:)
Congrats :grin:
Mt guess is the mystery coin is (going on color and size) a nickle of some sort .
Knowing you..... :thinkingabout:...probably a shield. :yes: lol
