To my treasurenet friends....it's good to be back on the posts.

Yesterday after work I headed to the farm and knew I had about an hour to detect.

A little going over ground that I'd hit before and then I cut through an adjacent corn field. Got a sweet signal in the high sixties that took me 5 minutes to recover since I was doing a live dig recording; turned out to be a '54 wheat.

Down through that field and then ended up in another cornfield where I stumbled upon a mid to high tone, deep signal that I thought may be just iron, but it turned out to be two IHCs stuck together. Well, the sun was setting and my fingers were cold but I kept on getting signals in this 8 square foot area and eventually recovered a total of 8 IHCs. These are in rough shape mostly to the fact that they were likely dropped as an entire coin pouch and were in contact with one another for years. In fact, the closest date I can come up with for the drop is 1910. One of the groupings of coins is a stack of 3 and one of the end coins is a Lincoln head cent. Most, but not all of these coins are from 1900 - 1908 with a couple from the later 1800s.

Turned out to be a very productive short hunt, certainly the fastest and most numerous recovery of Indian Head cents I've experienced.

Congrats on the IHP coin spill, man I know that's a thrill to dig!!!!


A few years ago I found a coin spill from a similar era with several of the pennies and nickles sandwiched together, and they actually (in this dirt) preserved each others original finish where they had contact:

Congrats on the coin spill. Sounds like the Calvary was covering your back with that tribe of Indians.

Thanks Mike. Didn't come across the pouch they were in. Figured they were dropped in something that held them close together.

Thx IndianaBonesMD! Since I've been detecting I recovered a 3-stack and a 2-stack of Indians. I made the mistake of separating the 3 and cleaning them.
This hunt was amazing in that it included both a 3 and 2-stack combination.
