1909 "S" INDIAN HEAD!!! 9 Silver, 5 Injuns, 1 V, 30+ Wheats!!!!

Hello Fellow Tnetters,

I was doing the Happy Dance today!! I met Mike(ratman) and Curt(Bibleman) at the same park I went to on Monday. I decided to put on my 8" Sunray coil, and I'm sure glad I did. I had an even better day today!! The Indians and early wheaties started popping up. Then the silvers started to show. I ended the day with 7 silver (got a '64 Rosie in a couple hour hunt yesterday), 5 Injuns(1890, 1892, 1899, 1906, 1909S), and over 30 wheats, including another '12S semi key.

The 1909 S Indian Head has to be my greatest coin find since I've been detecting. It's got the green pimples on it , but heck I've got one of only 309,000 minted!!! I believe the '09S Injun has the lowest mintage of all the Indians and Wheatback pennies. It was fairly deep (about 9"). I couldn't believe when I turned it over and there was the "S". I'm so thankful to be living in CA...I've been recovering so many "S" mint coins.

I cannot believe how this little part of the park has produce for me in my last two trips. The 8" coil performed very well, and was finding coins 9+".

Also in my pics are an old brooch with colored glass stones, a 1943 20 Centavos, a 1900 V nickel, which was in the same hole as a '40 wheatie, and a silver St. Christopher medal.

I'm Ecstatic!!!

Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting!!

Congrats on your excellent finds! You get my vote for banner with that IH. WTG!

I agree with everyone who voted to see this in our banner... however, it's not going to make a very good banner image until it gets cleaned! I wish I had better news - it IS a great find and will most certainly get moved to The Best Of TreasureNet! Good luck getting it cleaned!

What a terrific hunt! Wondering what the 09-S Indian would be worth had it been spot free . . . . the condition didn't look too bad underneath the spots. But 9 Silvers and 30 Wheats, that would have to be my best hunt ever (in 20 years).

Re: 1909 "S" INDIAN HEAD!!! 9 Silver, 5 Injuns, 1 V, 30+ Wheats!!!!

It seems like every one of your hunts is better than the last! Even without the 09-S it was a great day. Great finds!
