what set off the detector?

A junk target around a tree. I looked down there it was!

 

[BobGuy]

I am by no means an expert but it looks like a St. Charles. Indiana is just outside of its typical distribution though...

I take that back... it's called a Dovetail in Indiana.

A very nice dovetail. Early Archaic, 9 to 10 thousand years old. Older than any coin you'll find in Indiana!
