1893 Indian Head

deershed · May 30, 2015

Messed around in a neighbors yard for a little today. Wasn't getting much until I came across a hit I passed up digging on an earlier hunt here.
A couple weeks ago a flipped a plug and my target was directly below a huge root so I passed it up. Too hot and the ground was hard as rock. Today I decided to dig it out, 1893 IH and in great shape. A quick rinse under water and she looks good.

Nice Indian Cent! I believe in digging the iffy signals, you dig a lot of extra trash, but it's the only way to really be sure.

I can't say it was a iffy hit, a good solid 82 on the Pro. When I first got this hit a couple weeks ago I flipped a plug and the ground was hard as a rock and it was directly below a huge root. As it was when I dug it yesterday it took me 10 minutes to get it out from under the root. Wasn't as hot and muggy yesterday. Lol

Good job going back. It's in very good condition!

Thats worth every second of a 10 minute recovery. I spent about an hour digging down about 2.5 feet with a hand trowel the otherday to find the front end of a car, was hoping for that elusive jar of coins...maybe its in the backseat of the car, but im not digging another 7 feet to find out lmao

Plus if you dig every signal you don't toss and turn that night wondering in your subconscious: "I wonder if that was something good I passed up??"

Deershed--really nice looking IH! They seem to be a coin that suffers greatly in the ground and rarely comes out good-looking. But yours is a winner!
