Best day ever for Indians with 18! Also Seated and Barber dimes

[doninbrewster]

Broke my old one day record of 17 Indians by one. This time I did it in a half day. Although the have weak dates, there's an 1866 and 1867 in addition to the 1874 which has a stronger date. Nice pulling a few better dates. Also pulled out a seated dime and Barber dime. I know, I hit the seated dime with my digger. Happens sometimes although it's a drag when it's a decent seated piece. Put the buffalo in the photo to show how the Barber dime was laying on top of it. Didn't see the nickel at first, but when you pull silver that has green attached to it it means it was laying against either a penny or a nickel. Sorry the scans aren't any better. I haven't posted for a couple of weeks, but this brings my total for Indians YTD up to 36. Nice way to start the year. Just scanning my year end totals for 2015 to post.

Nice IHP haul. There pretty toasted but not any worse than the majority I find. It doesnt get much better than pulling Barbers and seated too. Nice hunt

Wow, even back in the old days when I hunted a few parks, never got more than 7 in any hunt, so big congrats, nice hot spot from that time frame evidently.

I know of between 2-3,000 Indians coming out of this place, and that's only in the last 3 years. It's been heavily hunted for about 40 years. As a matter of fact, someone came up to me yesterday and asked how come he always sees so many people metal detecting all the time. In the past few weeks I've seen another seated dime, a seated quarter, Barber dimes, shield nickels, V nickels, a gold ring and over 100 Indians come out of this place. Just about everyone is using either a CTX3030 or an XP Deus. I've also seen people using both of those machines without finding anything. It's there, but it doesn't come up easy.

Don't think I have ever seen that many IH's found in a day, let alone that many from one site in a day!

Great day of coin shooting!

 

[Jason in Enid]

I think you found the whole tribe! Congrats on the indians and the sweet silvers!

 

[Diggin Dude]

Nicely done! It was a fantastic display of Indianhead recovery. Nice Seated, always exciting to see them come out of the ground, and it was cool in the barber was stuck to the buffalo nickel. Congratulations and happy hunting
