1897 Churchyard Gives 1865 Coin!!!!!!!!!!

[Michigan Badger]

I went back to the churchyard for another quick hunt and about 150 feet from where I found the 1939 Merc today I found this 1865 Indian! This is only the 2nd Indian I've found at this site in 5 years. It's my first for this year.

I just walked into the site and the first place I put my coil I got the signal on this coin! Was this my day or what?

Here are pictures of it fresh out of the ground and then after a little bath and coating with olive oil.

I LUV my DeLeon!

Now I need just a bit more proof. Send me your Great Grand Daddies finger print and I'll see if it matches any of those on the coin.

With my luck the prints will match. This is how I lost one of Nefertiti's "personal" items I dug.
