You guys and your fantastic finds and short hunts
make me wonder what I'm doing wrong. But I guess
my time will come.
Congratulations. You should be proud.

Those indians are in great shape. I just dug one on Friday but the soil by me is not so kind. I love those old locks...I have not dug one in quite a while.

Congrats and HH

Not for sure Matt but I would guess around 1860.

Tom----For some reason this field is kind to copper.
All my other field Indian heads have been badly corroded.

Everything you have there looks great, Indians, relics, lock (railway?), all of it!

Good that the ground there must not have been fertilized, those I.H.'s look like "townies".
