    Back in the USA - A Couple Good Finds

    Hello Diggers,
    Now that I am back in the USA and settled into my new home and job I have been able to get out 3 times detecting. The first 2 hunts were with Don and Noah up in Northern Illinois. The 3rd trip was to Indiana where we were hosted by Tony Two-cent. Why do I always pick the cold, windy, and rainy days to go detecting? LOL. I had a blast with the guys. It was nice to see them again after 4 years. Here are my keepers:

    I think my favorite is the holed 1867 2-cent. The iron staining around the hole show this was probably worn on a necklace, perhaps by someone born in that year.
