Indian Head burial ground continued

[toasted]

Today I returned to the old church that is just loaded with Indian heads. Today I got seven(1881,1898,1899, 1900, 1901, 1902 x2). Also got a 1884 v nickel in a spill with one of the Indians and another 1910 v nearby. IHP total for this site is now 24. This is all in an area not much larger than your average swimming pool. Where are all the Barbers and seateds. Only found one

Maybe somebody sucked all the silver outta there and left the IH signals. It would be nice to snag some silver but I'd be happy to dig IH cents all day long!

The Indians are probably masking the sound of that sweet silver. Keep swinging, low slow and keep digging. Grid search from all angles, its in there hiding!

Cool hunt, nice spot!

Most likely right because there's no way only one silver was dropped with all these Indians and v nickels. The Indians read in the pull tab range. I did dig a bunch of wheats that ring up just like a dime so they wouldn't have left those. That's what confuses me

 

[Gridwalker306]

Maybe previous hunters with a different machine with different settings/disc would account for the discrepancy. At any rate I'd keep hitting it, there's gotta be more silver for you there!

On most machines IH cents don't come up in the pull-tab range unless they are fatties. Also wheat cents generally don't come up as dimes either. As JCache said someone may have cherry-picked the silver that would have come up higher than IH or wheat cents. There are probably deeper silver coins that you are missing. You may want to go over the spot with a Minelab machine for the extra depth. The AT Pro is a good all-around machine, but will not get the same depth as an Explorer SE Pro.

Gotta be one in there somewhere.....

I'll hit it with my vaquero. It's plenty deep. The site is small and not very trashy so deep is my last hope

 

[toasted]

Only silver has been a 1902 O barber and a 57 Washington that I pulled from a small trashy area. More evidence its been hit before

 

[Inspector]

That's a nice lot of coins, I'm sure the silver is there for you & GL finding it

 

[JeffInMass]

Silver or not, keep popping those Indians out of there and the next one might be an 1877- GL & HH!

I think it's very interesting that all those Indians were left behind - The problem with the cherry picked theory is that you found wheaties ,
that you said were hitting similar to a dime signal - Silver dime ? If that's the case then you are correct nobody would have left those
which would suggest that there either isn't much silver present or you just haven't put your coil over it yet . I don't think depth is an
issue here - I don't believe that silver dimes would be deeper than the Indian Head cents of the same period .

Nice bunch of Indian head pennies there. I can remember when I first got my White's 6000 DI pro I was neglecting the numbers around 60 since the wheat pennies usually struck up to at least 70.so that might why some one left those for you.

 

[Loco-Digger]

Man you slaughtered the tribe today and pulled a pair of V's!!! That hunt would please most coin shooters here on Tnet. Nine oldies in one hunt at a site that has produced many others. You have a great place to swing the coil.

 

[Scrappy]

Wow that's a lot of Injuns in one hunt! The barbers and seateds are there but are just shy. Maybe try changing your settings a bit.

Congrats!

An Indian Head is as good as most any silver to me, the first coin I even found was an '04 IH in my driveway when I was 11 or 12. We lived in a 1800's house and we dug it up with our bike tires from riding around one of the big trees on our "racetrack".

 

[toasted]

Thanks all. Love digging the IHP but I now have found 39 Indians this year compared to only 35 silvers. Gonna have to do some door knocking next year if I want to get all those Rosie's and mercs to pad my silver count

 

[toasted]

Not gonna post Indians anymore unless its a fatty, 1877, or silver is involved in the hunt. Love seeing everyone else's though to compare the years and conditions

 

[park pirate]

Wow nice tribe of IH'S, like them V's to..
