Just got done complaining to JMastny78 that I wasn't pulling any Indian Head Pennies out of an area that I thought should produce some. Then I pull this beauty! Great Detail!:headbang:
Better than an Indian Head! And still managed to graze it with the digger.:BangHead::BangHead::BangHead: Dig hundreds of pull tab signals and just get into the habit of digging everything like it is a pull tab.:BangHead::BangHead::BangHead: This rang in as a solid 63 on the AT Pro.

Did add a nice lookin' Indian before all was said and done.

That's a pretty rare bird for a dug coin. I do recall a couple posted, but I don't think anywhere as nice.

Congratulations. That is without a doubt the nicest dug FE that I've ever seen posted. As with most diggers, this coin is high on my wish list to dig.
