...unfortunately neither were silver lol.
If you read Cjon455's post from yesterday, you know we got out for a day long hunt at some permissions. He had another very good day...mine, well, not so good. Did get a first though ~ a broken little cast Indian and pony. Would have been very nice if it had been whole. The " V " is my youngest one found so far...I have an 1899 and a 1902 besides this 1907. Perfect nickel signal on the ATP - a repeating 51. Oh, the other nickel was just a 1970 Jefferson. Thanks for looking!

You just keep an eye on that nickel signal. It's coming! :)

And I see by your reins guide that great minds still think alike. ;)

Nice stuff! That "V" is very nice!

Thanks DI2, but Chris is the only one of us that's been tearing it up.

As soon as I saw the reins guide, I thought of you!

Thanks PoE...I really wish it wasn't broken. I was surprised it still had so much paint.

Thanks for showing. But I think don't that your Indian/pony is very old because, to me anyway, the Indian looks like a
" Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle ". :)
