Swimming hole edge
Hello everyone. I gained permission to hit an old swimming hole area today. I don't have a water detector so, I hunted the edge and the wooded line. I was happy with all the trash I dug to land two old nasty Indian Head pennies. Consecutive dates also 1895, and 1896!

Not the best shape, but at least they're pre-1900. Did you use peroxide on them?

I bet there is more in the water. Do you need help! 
Congrats on the Indians!

Thanks PG. I'm hoping to get back but, the owner has the,"mine syndrome" He allowed me to detect but, was not real comfortable with a stranger on his property. Gonna try again though.
