  2. 1892 Indian Head, 1952 shell casing, 1967 Hot Wheels

    Got permission for an Indiana farm, and after finding the Indian Head penny (my only old coin on the day), I was super excited to find my largest shell casing, a Remington Arms .50 cal (likely a Korean War souvenir, right?), and my coolest Hot Wheels yet, a 1967 green Deora. If you’ve never seen...
  3. No-tools Find - 1865 Indian Head

    We were digging a gas line in a yard that I've detected before, but going down 18 inches is a whole lot different than detecting the top 8-10 inches! So I found this guy with no detector, no pin-pointer, no nothing. Just a shovel and my eyes. Guess I've been looking at a lot of dirt lately, and...

  5. Mercury Dime and Indian Nickel In Same Day

    My best find to date. Spent two hours on the beach this morning. The dime was almost on the surface. Because of all the encouragment I got here after posting the car wash token, I decided to get back at it as soon as possible. Nickel looks like it says 1920, difficult to read. Other is 5...
  6. Indian Heads

    I was just going over some of my dug coins and happened to notice that the greener the Indian Head cent, the less it weighs. I know the green doesn't really stand out in this pic the way it does while you are holding them in your hand. Anyway, the really green toned ones weigh as little as 2.7...
  7. Is this a 1888/7?

    I found this 1888 Indian head near an old school 1 room house. Since I figured out it was an 1888 I have not cleaned it with anything more than mineral oil and a paper towel. The last digit is the only one that's hard to distinguish. This is as good of pics as I could manage with my old phone...
  8. My first Indian Head!

  13. Only found two pennies... BUT LOOK AT THIS!

    Probably not such an amazing find for some people, but I did find out that this is one of the rarer years (pre '78) which are highly sought after... It's a great find for me because I just started metal detecting recently and my oldest coin so far was a 1912 wheaty from my backyard. Also, this...
