Weekend Field hunt yields a 1860 Indian Head.

[djabend]

Got out for a bit on Saturday to hunt the hay field across the street after they started cutting it.
Not much left from all the hunting I did there last year, but I did manage to find a Indian Head.




Its pretty much toast but if you hold it at the right angle in the light, the date can be seen.
I wonder if its the pointed bust variety



Here is its approximate location in relation to last years finds





It was good to get out at least once this fall, I need to try and find some more time

yeah, the copper coins I dig almost always look like that. But it's still cool... it's a coin that's also a relic :-D

I like the photo / diagram of the field. I think it's good to keep this kind of info with your finds so you can look back years later and know where you found stuff like that.

Fertilizer takes a tremendous toll on coins.
