Local park gives up another 1800's coin

[BH_Landstar_]

Dug this today after work.

Read in at 12 41 @ 6"

This is a first for me, never dug a 2 cent coin before, so that's another coin off the to find list.

WOW!!! That is one on my list to find!!! It is in great shape !! The e is still there.... If you clean it be careful... Many methods use harsh chemicals and abrasives and make it a unnatural color.. Safest is distilled or RO water soaks, soft make up brush under running water, and a wooden toothpick to lift off hard stuck... Then when it's the way you like, Renaissance wax to protect and give it a sheen...

Now right there is a PRIME reason to NOT SKIP wheat penny signals. I think every two center I have dug registered at 12-41
Great find!
