Very nice! You will never forget your first Indian head penny. I still remember the disbelief of holding my first in the middle of a field. Nice silver as well. Congrats.

congrats on the silver and your first IH, came out of a cemetery? I would be careful about that, even if it is on private property most people are very leery about digging there. I've seen people dig up casket parts that roots pushed up.

Yes, a lot of people frown on cemetery hunting as it is considered disrespectful to hunt in someone's final resting place. People sometimes leave little momentos at the gravesites and I'd hate to take home something accidentally that someone put there on purpose.

That aside, congrats on your first IH.

WTG on the finds. I think you will find that most people are against digging in Cemetaries. Let the dead rest in peace if you will. Many newbies have done it, but find later that it is a bad idea.
Just trying to steer you in the right direction.
