I did dig an injun in late summer, but it was a signal that 'toasted' from t-net left in the ground for me (respect). Happened to be an 1876 much to his chagrin. This one was found without his assistance so I'll claim it as my first. Prolly one of the most corroded and messed up ihp's I have seen on here but I don't care. Just stoked to have dug it.

Also was sweet because toasted had just worked the area j/k :laughing7:

Now that you got the first out of the way hopefully the flood gates will open and you dig a lot more.

Congrats on digging the worst looking IHP known. I'd love it if it was my first too. I'm just glad you didn't dig my Flying Eagle cent. You'd have to hunt this site without my knowledge in the future. LOL

Looks like it could be a fatty to me, 1859-1864. Contrats on you first Indian. Get in the right spots and that AT Pro should pull plenty of them. Can't find them if they're not there. Pulled about 80 so far this year, most from one spot.
