Yesterday I found a couple of Firsts for me.
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.

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. |

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.

Congratulations!
I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.
An old park.
I'm hoping it will clean up a little better after a long soaking. Still haven't tried cleaning the IH.

I'm in Salem, NH. We should try to hook up some time and do a hunt together.Originally Posted by TundraDigger link=topic=14153.msg148853#msg148853 date=1378419531
