I went out this morning to the field that little Johnny found the Indian arrow point, nothing after about an hour and a half. So I packed it up and went to "the farm that nothing can be found" An hour into it I found this beat up 1869 Indian Woo hoo, nice date!

That is a good date Brad. Here is one I dug back in 2011. The guy I took hunting with me that day also dug an 1869, but his was toast.

That farmers family (metal detectorist) did not like the sound of a Indian, OR the old family liked throwing them at each other in the fields!

Hmmmm, then there's unlimited potential!

Some of my best finds were within Indians range for me:

Kg1-3's, 12g gold/diamond ring, cut Spanish silver, pull tabs, a seated dime love token, GW buttons, and so on. Something great is coming your way Brad. Keep going!
