So i went back out to the farm where i found my first merc and put a few hours in well i got out of the truck and first target was a 1912 wheat figured i was off to a good start but had no idea what i was in for the area is super trashy and my detector is an american hawks with the basics fortunately she has a small coil cause the old farm house was torn down and the owners are building the new house themselves and let me tell u i could prob build a garage with all the nails they drop lol so when i had an iffy signal and dug it i near had a heart attack was my second merc a 1916s :/ still tho an awesome find i did have another first at this place tho bout an hour in next to the house pluckin nails and metal trim pieces got a strong signal i figured to be more siding and boom my fist indian head 1903 bout 20 mins later bam second indian 1899 made my day ill let the pics tell the rest of the story but weird thing is the back on the 1903 looks almost new with a little green on it and it came out of the ground that way it was right next to the house in the rain run off from the roof only one clad coin today tho 2009 dime lol

Nice digs! Congrats on your first and second IH. :hello2: Is that your first 1800's coin as well? What is the threaded thing that looks like a hose nozzle? Keep digging!

Nice work!

Yup, I always take that as a good omen, when your first target is an oldie of any sort. :) It confirms to me, again, that I am indeed, in a good hunting area. ;) Sure seemed to work out that way for you too here Mr. Sounds like you and your machine work real well together bud. Thanks for tell'n us where you found some of them too. Happy dig'n.lb

If there's one thing I really love about metal detecting, it's the variety, shapes and uses of the many metals, long lost or recent, that lie, undisturbed, in the ground. :) You Never know what you are going to unearth from it's time capsule below the dirt. Your work and fine display of treasures here proves that, I'm not the only one that love the adventure angle of this fint Sport/Art eh. Congrats on such great dig's y'all. :)
