I was doing the curb strip in front of my neighbors house (with permission) and hit an 81-82 on my ATPro near a big old maple. I thought it would be a wheatie or dime from the numbers, boy was I surprised.

It was less than 2" deep and when I popped it out I saw the 2 and didn't get too excited thinking it would be a centavos because that's usually my luck, and I thought, "There wouldn't be a 2 cent piece around here." Wrong again! image.jpg
 
Congrats on the 2 center! Now you need to figure out if it's a small motto or large motto variety....not easy. Great coin!
 
Very nice find!! Hard to come by..I found 2 of them in the same field this year...but yours is in so much better shape!! Congrats!!

Unfortunately it looks like a large motto. A doctor I work with collects coins and is bringing a couple of his in to do a comparison with this morning.
 
Wow , that's a bucket lister ! Amaizing condition also.
I hope to find one someday.
