Dug my first HALF cent at 1800's house plus tribe of indians

today I hunted a house the owner told me was built in 1864, targets galore! I dug well over $3.00 in clad, bunch of wheaties but only one silver, and it just barely squeeked by being a 1963 rosie!..................lots of trash too, bet I dug over 50 trash items that just sounded so good!....

................... :thumbsup:





......anyhow, lets talk about that half cent I dug, it is undated but hey I will take it! Not everyday you find one of these babies!!!!!

ok ok, now admit it that was funny! :laughing7: :laughing9:
But I did dig a whole tribe of injuns, after todays 5 that I found that takes me to 56 for the season only one less than all of last year where I got 57, I think I stand a good chance to beat last year!

this 1902 is the best one of the bunch, don't dig em much nicer, full Liberty, all 4 diamonds in the ribbon, a real keeper!

Well that's how it always goes. You got to dig that trash before you get the treasure!

Great digs though, nice looking IHs. :thumbsup:
