So cool finding a first, happy for you!!! My "First" ever good target I dug was an 1895 Indian, been hooked on this addicting hobby every since!! Big Congrats to you!!
Very nice condition. I bet you got all excited when you saw the wreath or the head dress, whichever side was up. I know that when I dug my first one, I wiped it off, and it was jade green, then I noticed the head dress, and my mouth just fell open... the very next hole, 5 feet away, had another one in it. Man was I excited... anyway, congrats on scratching that off of your list. GL&HH.
First thing I found with my Whites XLT was a 1900 Indian Head , was so happy I quit looking and went home , boy could have been more stuff around , this was in june of 1997
