;D ;D :headbang: I got out to my uncles yesterday to search around where there was rumored to be an old homesite and some civil war activity and I find my first IH cent which is my oldest and best dind of my short detecting career! All i could read through the dirt wastes the 18 and I heard not to rub it so i just dropped it in my pocket and hammered out the whole area without anymore solid hits so i jumped in my car and rushed to my friends house to wash her down to see what it was. Booyah 1899!
