And it's a GOOD ONE! My gravel driveway is about the only place that isn't still frozen. And it's had a layer of new gravel put on it recently, but I figured with my brand new AT Pro (upgrade from my Bounty Hunter 202), I might be able to pull something from below. About 4-5 inches down, just below the new gravel layer, I found my first 2 cent piece! An 1867. My oldest American coin on my property prior to this was 1895. I so wanted to put this on Eye-popping and Mind Blowing (it was for me), but figured it didn't qualify.

UPDATE: Started the cleaning. It looks to be in good shape. Gonna stick it in olive oil for awhile before continuing
