Got out for some fresh air in my own back yard and found a few goodies. My first Indian Head! A 1901, she is a little rough but I’ll take it, a 57 wheat, a 1920 wheat, a nice buckle, a wheel weight, a button, and 3 clad dimes. Not a bad hunt on my own property that was built 1890. Still have yet to find old silver except for one 64 Rosie. Any thoughts on age of the buckle? It’s very soft.

I hunter the fire out of this property with my Ace 250 and walked over that Indian a dozen times or more. This past summer I got a Teknetics T2 and it’s been like new hunting grounds!

Way to go! Good on you for knowing what it is lol. My first Indian I gave to my brother just thinking it was a corroded piece of crap zinc. He pointed out that something looked weird about it and boom! 1904 haha.

Congrats! I think finding it in your own yard must make it feel even more special. Hope you find many more.

Nice going on the Indian and the buckle ! Can't wait to finally anounce my first Indian - thought I was gonna get it last Sept. because I was hunting in the woods in North East Pennsylvania - and pulled a V nickel and a Barber dime - no such luck yet (everybody in NEPA finds Indians !!)

I wish that was a silver dime, unfortunately it’s just an aluminum button insert I believe from a 2 piece more modern button
