Absolutely Stunning Semi Key Indian

[Metal Illness]

I found this at my 1831 farm site. After working this property pretty hard over the last two years I was amazed to pull this little beauty. The cherry picking is finished, in TTF with the E-trac moving very slow, I was able to sort this out of the heavily iron infested signals. It was actually about 15 feet away from the 1/2 Reale I found two days earlier and I know I have passed over/missed them both several times. Many times I have left the farm discouraged with nothing, thinking it's hunted out, then on consecutive trips I find the Reale and this little beauty. When door knocking fails, I always have plan B and now I'm convinced it's not hunted out, just very slim pickins.
Thanks for looking, Bill

They do ring up like Zincolns on the E-trac, I don't know about other detectors. Depends on where I'm hunting whether or not I dig. City parks, shallow I usually pass, if they're deeper I dig. Old farm houses I always dig shallow or deep. A lot of times on the e-trac they will come in at 01-30/31 and that is usually a dead giveaway that it's not a zincoln.

Same with the V3i. If your in a spot that's old enough or if it's deeper it's a good chance it could be an Indian. I ignored the zinc signals at first and its a big mistake. A whole bunch of goodies come in the zinc range.

That is the most beautiful coin I have ever seen come out of the ground!

No place is hunted out. Persistence pays off. I have returned to small sites year after year

Great shape I have a couple that are almost in that shape but not quite as good. Love those green Indians when they are in the hole.
