Can You "Sprechen Sie Deutsch?"

Had a little time to stop and hit a curb side by an old building in a pre 1900 neighborhood which was probably 50 feet long. Dug some zinkins and a clad dime, but then hit a 24 Merc. As I was headed back over to the truck I got a high tone and dug up something with a big 2 in the middle. I thought I had a trade token of some kind and knew it had some writing on it, but could not make it out. Once home I seen it said "PFENNIG" under the 2, so I looked it up and it is a German 2 Pfennig coin. How you can dig a 42 Merc then a few feet over dig a 1991 German coin I'll never know, but this hobby always keeps you guessing, thats the fun of it. So quick little stop, got some shiny in the hole and a kraut Coin to boot, cant beat that with a stick, haha! Last Picture is just a internet example all cleaned up.

Ja, ein bischen ("yes, a little" - and by that I mean, a very little!

)

Congrats on the merc and the 2 Pfennig! Nice finds! :clapping:

Congrats on the unique and good finds! Last year I dug a 1914 2 Pfennig in a local yard and then a couple of weeks ago I found a 1941 nazi 10 reichspfennig in another local yard. I credit the second one to my repaired Etrac being German for a short time. :lol:

You just never know what you'll find in this hobby!

Haha, ya i was perplexed when i seen the big 2, but excited. I love finding anything unusual. I like your Romans 10:9-10 also in your bottom tag, we can add 10:13 to it and round it out well.

Those tourists tend to drop a few coins now & then. Or a kids "show & tell" coin

Cant see its just outside the pic, but it is straight down off the sidewalk. Edge of plug was the sidewalk and about 10+ deep. AT max can reach deep silver pretty good I think. Ive been running a Whites Spectrum since 1994, but cant get them serviced after 12/31/18 anymore, just too old. Still good back up machine, or loaners for a freind. I had my Whites down pat, but might be a while till i master the AT Max, haha. But i never went to a detecting fourm before and really enjoy the sharing of info and finds.
