A friend and co-worker invited me to a house he had permission to search this past sunday. It dated back to 1790 so we were excited to hit it. He had a new machine, a equinox 800 and i was using a vanquish 540. We started pulling wheaties right away, then i got a signal of about 19. It ended up being an 1874 Indian cent. A short time later and another similar signal and i had a 1864 Indian in nce shape. We were both finding relics from the 1800s thru the mid 1900s before we called it a day. Later on, i checked the 1864 under magnification and could make out a faint L. That 1864 turned into a 1864-L. Made my day. We were both talking about it and the site the following day at work. I think i owe him a case of beer. Thanks for reading. MM2

I love finding IHPs, but most of the time they come out of the ground looking pretty crappy. Yours look GREAT! Congrats on your find, especially given the older dates.
