I found these indian head pennies back in August at my uncle's house that was built in 1858. My uncle gave permission to some detectorists back in 1993 and I have posted some of their finds that they let my uncle keep. The only keepers that I have found were the 2 indian heads...makes me wonder what the previous detectorists found...

(ill have to post pics in 2 separate posts)

nice finds ;) some house too :o
 

Real nice finds.

Awesome looking house. There has to be more around there. I'd hit all the ruff area's to make sure it wasn't hunted in the past.

If thats the stuff they gave to him, imagine what they kept. Looks like a great site.
 

Your uncle's house is awesome. That would bring about $2million in California!!! I think JerDfx is right on, hunt the rougher areas and see what the other, earlier detectorists may have missed. A place like that should have lots of good stuff still waiting to be found, hunt it again!!!!

Your IHs are really nice, WTG
 

Wow! Would love to hunt the grounds there....Great finds!!
