    Another first for me

    Today after work I went and hunted an old one room school house dated from 1835 that I got permission to do. I was there for only an hour and found my first Indian Head dated 1883. Needless to say, I will be going back!

    The first one is always a thrill. Actually they all are. Guess you don't have to go to the city to find 'em either.
    Congrats Ryan, on that fine looking IH!

    Re: Another first for me

    Wow that's a nice one! I love digging IHs. They are so majestic. I've pulled 5 so far in the last 12 months and each one has been an exciting find for me! Good luck on your next trip there. There has to be some barbers or maybe even some seated coinage!

    Re: Another first for me

    I've had my E-Trac since last Sept. and to date I have as yet to find a IH. Know I'm hunting a park where they are as I've found several over the years there.
    This place is not hunted out (not that any place is) as I've found a 1962 Rosie, a 1876CC Dime a 1918D Merc, and a 1943 Merc in my last three hunts. I guess they are just eluding me to date.
    Dug several 12-34 12-35 readings at 4 to 8 inch's but all I come up with is Zincolns that are all ate up.
    Glad to see someone finding them. Rick

    Re: Another first for me

    Congrats on your first indian head penny Ryan! Pretty sweet ay? You were telling me that it rang up like 12-37... that's pretty high for an IH but it just goes to show you gotta dig them all ;-)
