First Indian Head and as a bonus, it's my oldest coin yet!
Went driving around in the country looking for possible spots to hunt and came across an old cemetery that was established in 1817 and had a church on that site from 1831 to 1974. The place looked promising so I got out and did a few swings with the AT Pro. I didn't go around the grave stones, I did hit the area where it looked like the church sat.
I dug my first hole and after sticking the Profind down in there, I picked out an old nail. I decided to run the pinpointer over the dirt I had already removed from the hole and there it was...just sitting there looking at me. I picked it up and just glancing thought it was a wheatie...until I turned it over and seen what it was...1903 Indian Head cent!!! The first IH for me and hope to find many more!
There will definitely be more trips out to that cemetery!
Thanks for looking and happy hunting!
