I just love it when this happens! It's just one penny but it's the second Indian Head I've found, and there's something magical about 1896 coming out of the ground! I visited a ghost town that was originally a town in the 1890s to 1960s. I found two wheat pennies and then this one! It was sitting under a tree that used to have a swing attached, and was about 3 inches down. :icon_thumleft:

I hunted for a bit before finding an IH. Can't remember my second, but the first is still clear lol.

Congrats on pulling that IHP. :occasion14: I love seeing those in the hole. My 1st season I also pulled 1, but this year I have dug 21. Everyone of them got me stoked.

If you come home with an Indian you've had a great hunt imo. I've only come across 4 so far.

Congrats. May you find many more.

Congrats on your Indian. I just dug an 1896 myself last week. If you stop getting excited when you dig an Indian, you might as well sell your detector & get out of the hobby. ( Of course I know our East Coast detecting brothers are laughing at that comment !! )

I am a green Indian fan too. Well played. I will never forget my first one... a thin jade green 1875. Best of luck to you.
