I got out this AM for a hunt with Dirt Lizard (From the Friendly Forum) and we hit our favorite haunt. I wasn't an hour in to my hunt when I came across the first coin you see, an 1867 2 Cent piece! 
mg: At first it was SO covered in crud I wasn't sure what I had. After a light rub I could see the bars on the shield and after flipping it over was able to make out the two. This is my first one! :happy:
The park we hunt is mainly woods with tons of area to check. Then I found a little pocket spill: two wheats (1911 and 1917) as well as a 1917 Mercury dime! Yes! :twirlingeyes: The dime was very dark so I thought it was a penny at first. The other cool find is the clock key (I think) and some other old doo dads and modern coinage I didn't include.
OK. I hope everyone had a great turkey day, and as always happy hunting! :groovy:
PS I cleaned the 2 center as best I could. Any ideas how to make it look better without damaging it?? I forgot to mention that the Canadian coin I found the other day is in the photo as well all cleaned up. You can see just how tiny it is!
