3 Little Indians Sittin neat a tree

[KirkTN]

Howdy y'all

I haven't had much time to hunt lately. I did get permission to hunt an old school that time forgot yesterday. dated (1890-1920) An old timer told me about it. The only visual signs are the front steps and corner stones. It is tucked away on a wooded hill side. Pretty grown up. You can't see it from the road. Brother john37115 and I hit it for a while yesterday. There were a lot of spots we couldn't hit good because of the brush. I'd only found one Indian head before. I Found 3 there yesterday. Found 2 1902's in the same hole. Also found the cleanest wheat I've ever found. It's a 1920 s. The little bell says DR Bells Pine Tar Honey. There was So Much iron in the ground I'm sure we missed a lot of good stuff. We hope to go back and clean out the iron to try and get the goodies. I don't think this site has been hunted as the coins were just to the right of the front steps and only about 4 inches deep. The one Injan still had the Liberty on the head dress but its jacked up with a bad scar. Dang It!

Nice finds! That wheat must have been shiny new when it was dropped.

Hey neighbor, you sure made a great haul. It's a lot of work but I have been known to weed eat and mow a few places over the years to get the goodies. It's usually worth the effort if you can get to it easily. Thanks for sharing the goodies with us

Those are nice Indians (and a nice wheatie), and there are plenty that come out of the ground looking worse!

I like the Dr. Bell's. If it doesn't cure your cough, you can always use it to keep your Louisville Slugger (or detector) from sliding out of your hands after a particularly good "cut at it".

Must've been. I was surprised at the condition, most of the time there pretty jacked up around these parts

Thats cool!

Thanks Gypsy, Neat pics you posted on the cough syrup. What year(s) was the product made?

Brother John and I have been known to do some mowin and weed eatin' if the owners don't mind.

Yep, I was pleased with the over all condition of the pennies.

The earliest I can find on line is 1910



But ...There is an ad in an Indiana Newspaper from 1897 that is showing it

I LOVE finding Indian Head pennies. The most I've found in one day, however, was two. You had a great day in finding three!! Good job!

Some great finds. There has to be more there for you guys.
