1859 IHP! Tag teamin' it with Uncle Jeff!

[Noah_D]

I was over at my Aunt and Uncle's newly bought 1870s house and we all went out detecting for a little bit before heading home. Unfortunately I didn't bring my detector so there were four of us tag teaming it with my Uncles detector... I was swinging and everyone else was digging, pinpointing, or just watching. Anyway, we were about to leave and I found one last hole that I really wanted to dig, I pinpointed it for him and he popped the plug. He was the first to see it, gave it a quick rub, and then handed it to me, as soon as I held it I knew it was a fatty but also quickly realized it was a '59! And a pretty decent one too! This is a first for me and I feel really blessed to have been able to find an 1857 flying eagle and 1859 IHP this year! You can see everyone else in the other pictures still digging haha.

Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

Noah D,

Looks like you found a new place to detect - bet you won’t forget your detector next visit to your aunt and uncle. Definitely a nice looking fatty IHP - I am still looking to find my first one. Good luck with your hunts. Walt

Thanks! Good luck finding your first fatty, I've dug two 1864L's but this was my first fatty. I have brought my detector EVERY time I've gone over there but we're usually too busy fixing the place up to do much detecting, the one day I don't bring it...
