Put the Ultimate coil on my Explorer SE Pro and headed back to a park in a neighboring town that dates back to the 1700's- had some previous success there finding an 1829 Half dime, 1877-CC Seated Quarter, and 1816 LC, among others. Going along I hadn't found a single coin, but pulled out some nice old buttons/relics, then I hit 3 straight Indians- all were safely 9 to 11 inches down. The sandy soil here on the Cape preserves the copper coins very well, so I could see the dates were 1863 C/N, 1864 and 1892. I thought I may be seeing the L on the 1864 Indian, but couldn't be sure until I cleaned it- but there it is, sure as heck. Very stoked about this one as I had never found- that leaves just the 2 "S" mints and the 1877 to complete this series- think I'll re-hit that park with this coil and see what else may be hiding!

Hope you enjoy the pics and be safe friends!
