Got out to a Sawmill that I've actually had permission for back in 2013. I never could find it out in the field but I checked a corner I hadn't looked before and seen a bunch of stone and glass so I knew I found it. I only had time to hunt for about an hour and it was worth it. Most of the items found was melted lead and a few decent relics. After digging the 1840 LC first I could see it was in pretty good shape, so I was hoping I could score some more coins. I ended up getting 3 Indians. 1868, 1878, and last but not least the 1877. I have dug close to 400 indians over the years and only ahd 3 left on my list to find. The 1877, 1908S and the 1909S. The only downside is the 1877 has a full liberty, but the soil really ate it up. Either way, I super excited to cross that one off the list.

Most of the late 1860s and 1870s are hard enough but you got the key:occasion14:
