Wednesdays Hunt - Indian Head Cent

[flinthunter]

My first hunt this year. Got out wednesday for a short hunt at an early 1800's homestead site located on a hilltop in a pasture near me. The site was probably occupied until the very early 1900's. I probably won't find a lot there but what I do find should be old. Found lots of old cast iron junk and this nice 1892 indian head cent. Made my day. Daryl

Was it very deep?

The cent was about 5 inches. There was a cast iron teapot spout there that was about 12 inches deep. Its going to be an interesting site.

Hey Daryl what kind of machine you using?

[flinthunter]

Hey Daryl what kind of machine you using?

I am using a Whites DFX. I am still trying to learn how to use this machine. My last detectors were Whites Coinmaster TR's from the early 70's. BIG difference in these machines. Daryl

Great looking Indian, that looks like it was dropped in 1892.

Beauty!! Keep us posted. Did you have to clean much? Any clay?

That's one great looking IH for being in the ground. It's great when they come out that way
