Hey everybody!! Driving around my area and saw an old house slated for destruction for new road. Went there for a test run on Saturday morning. There about 5 minutes and dug a 1919 Wheat cent. Then found 1969 Lincoln. Few minutes later found 1984 Lincoln. Got an iffy signal and dug down about 4 inches and saw a round disc.... Picked it up and it just felt "different". Rubbed away a little dirt and saw the "One Cent" with the Shield. YEAH!!! Turned it over and it was a 1902!!!! Only had about 10 more minutes to hunt and found a 1967 Rosy. Planning to go back there this Thursday for an all day hunt. HH Captain Loosechange

Congrats on your first Indian Head. Now the flood gates will open and you will continue to find them. I took me a while to find one but now I usually find a few each time I hunt.

Wow, Captain, and you found a rare Super Dooper Gigantic Sized Indianhead, too! :wink:

Congratulations on your first. Hopefully it'll open the floodgates on many more. :thumbsup:

Yes, a super gigantic Indian Head ;D Along with this being my first IH it was also my first attempt at posting a picture. I am about as computer savy as Fred Flinstone, so you saw the results of my first attempt. Have some other good finds I want to post from the last year or so of hunting but I am going to have to practice with the pictures first. Hope you have a 24" computer monitor so you can admire my IH :icon_jokercolor: Thanks everyone for the nice comments, I know it's only an Indian Head but it meant a lot to me to find it. Thanks again and HH.
