woo hooo !!!!! i havent been detecting in a long time so i decided today rain and all to go out. went to about 4 spots and basically got nothing. i was driving home and i stopped at this island i have been eyeing for a long time with a big old tree in the middle. right off the bat i got a penny signal about 3 inches deep and out the 1877 came out. i knew it was a indian but didnt know what year till i was cleaning it at home. i wish i didnt jump the gun because if i new it was the key date coin i would of sent it out proffesionally. but who woulda guessed. i never thought i would of found one of these in a million years. ive joked about it before. gonna continue cleaning and will show aditional pics later. thanx. willy.

Great Find DFX Willy via useing a Metal Detector

Right Place and Right Time :thumbsup:

Just wished the IHP did not have CHICKEN POX
all over it. In <GOOD-4> condition you would be
looking at a $900.00 coin.
