Got another Indian!(good pics) + Cleaned my no date buffs & now they have dates!
Got permission to hunt a courthouse built in the 1850's!!! Apparently I am not the first one to hunt it. I thought the gentelman in charge was going to tell me no, but, turns out I did him a favor once (I love small towns!). So he cautioned me greatly about a mean grounds keeper and a disrespectful MD'r that left large holes in their beautifully kept courthouse. Well, as you all know, no place is ever hunted out.
I had a one hour block tonight to hunt, so hunt I did! I got a bit of clad (like 3 bucks) and a bunch of ate up zincs at about 3 inches throughout the whole lawn...I was getting discouraged, but I kept at it. Finally, I told myself "one good one and I'll go." (the wife had already stopped by on her way home from work...and she was lookin' mighty fine
) Right after I said that, i pulled this lovely green 1901 Indian out at about 4 inches. Read a solid 4" with a solid VDI of 74. That was all I needed. I have it soaking now, and will post more pics later (not that everyone here hasn't seen a hundred of these). I am pretty excited...she's only my 3rd ever (Indian...not wife). I'll be going back tomorrow.
Oh! And, here's my buffalo's from the park the other day! I took the two no dates and decided to experiment a bit. I used Lime-A-Way...here's the cleaning post!

Oh, that Indian Head penny looked so pretty with its patina. Oh well, so long as it's not a key date. Good job on that courthouse...hope you can go back soon!

Nice finds man.
I hate people who leave holes. I even yell at my own partners lol. I don't like to see sloppy holes. Get you kicked out or in trouble.
