So I decided to hit my front yard and go very slow to listen for any deep targets. By the sidewalk next to my driveway I get a decent 79-81 on the ATPro. After digging my plug I find the first out of the targets...a 1918 wheatie. I thought I was done but stuck the pinpointer in the hole again just to be sure. I get a hit on the side and pull my second wheatie...a 1919.
I think I'm done and run the coil over the hole and I still get a solid hit. I dig some more and out pops an 1897 Indian Head!!!
I didn't know what year it was so I run into the house and have the wife tell me...LOL
I was and still am pretty stoked!

My little assistant was showing them off for me to take the pic.

Hmm maybe your little assistant is your lucky charm. Maybe she should go with you on a regular basis. Congrats on the 1800's club

That's a very nice spill. Congrats on your first 1800's. Now you can shoot for a 1700's if you don't already have one.

Congrats love old copper. I hope to break into 1700s some day closest is my 1828 U.S. Half cent. Ohio was mostly an Indian country then but there were whites here. Congrats again and hope you find more.
