This 1865 Indian head is the oldest coin that I have found on this permission. There is still 130 years of earlier occupation. After cherry picking for a while, I had decided to start cleaning out an iron field near a barn. Hex nuts, a spill of about 20 nails, a horse shoe, countless pieces of unidentifiable iron and finally, this. 3 hours and I only covered an area of about 6x20 feet. I can't go more than a foot before getting a tone. Thankfully, it is not a fine lawn and the property owner is fine with me digging like a Bassett Hound. They actually have one and she loves to try and get into my holes and help.
