found an old indian hiding in the woods 1859

[leenie]

Went detecting today and the first signal was this penny. This is my second 1859. the first one somebody used a small nail set on the Indians face. a very bad case of acne. this one looks like they started a hole. my wife and I own this property there was a house here on a 1909 plat map. I grew up on this farm and still live here. I didn't know there was a house there till I started detecting. the first things I found was a pair of horse shoes that would fit a pony. a banker owned it in 1909 and I think a family was here in the 1870s. thanks for looking dave

That's an old one for sure! Hunts with IH's are always good in my book.

Makes you wonder if the banker has something stashed there some where. If you can try and find the out house and dig it up. Nice score
