Well, went to a friends yesterday for a cookout at his families newly purchased home. An old 1880s house, he told me to bring my machine to look while he cooked. I know there's more there but it's really dry there. This is my funds from about an hour hunt. I really like the clay marbel.

Nice IHP, Any day I pull one of those is a great day. Last season I only found 1. This year I am mainly doing older permission properties and have pulled 13.
 

Thanks, yea this my second this year
 

Sweet looking Indian! Looks like you have a great spot to keep checking out! :thumbsup:
 

Nice 1 hr hunt ! :thumbsup:
 

I will be going back for sure.
 

Nice to see you getting after it Voncle. Havent seen you around in a while.
Good job pulling silver and an indian. I love finding Indians, dug 3 this year down here in South MS, and wish i could find more.
That one piece of flattened lead looks like a fired bullet.
Sounds like you need to get back to that site soon, this weather we are having is really nice.
 

that's a nice old one, id try again for sure!!

Thanks man, been a busy year. Ya'll will be seeing me back at it soon. Got 4 new sites lined up for winter,and spring. If that is a fired bullet, it sure flattened out!
 

Was just looking at it again, the feathers aren't worn, an i can read liberty clearly! Best one I've seen!

Cool its always nice when they aren't worn.
I think its a bullet. Reminds me a lot of one I found recently the same day I dug my last IHP.
At first I thought it might be a lead seal, but several ID'd it as a bullet.
Even looks like our pieces of leas have the same small hole/indentation on one side.

You might want to try a little mineral oil/olive oil soak on that IHP, it will really bring those details alive.

Already in the oil! 👌
 

I'll have to pull out my 6" coil next to the front porch where I found it, alot of trash there. I usually hunt in all metal mode with 4 tones, find alot more since I started doing that.
 

Good digs!...the IH is real nice...

The old roofing nails suck, don't they!
 

Prime house for a hidden cache - search inside and out!
 

Oh you will man, took me 6 years to find my first one!
