well here it is built in 1842 I've hunted it twice as I'm really busy at work, i have never hunted a site with so much iron and junk really there is somethin in every square ft of this homestead!!went over very little of the front yard found a few goodies to share w/ya the home owner has not been there she is out of state so I've decided to wait till everything is cleaned up and in the showcase before i show her. if ya didn't catch my other post everything i find is going in a showcase for the homeowner my part of saving history, when I'm done pics and a article is going to be sent to Garrett hoping to go on the Garrett searcher magazine.all finds are with ace 250 and stock coil, well here's some pics tell me what ya think.

It's a shame that IH has a hole in it otherwise it might be worth about 100 bucks or so. Nice finds.

sounds like a good idea B|lker. dugholes it wasn't to hard just alot of signals,i just worked the solid signals and very small swings, the indianhead was only 3in deep the eagle was about 8-10 i also got 4 wheats and a silver ring and 2 more buttons just having problems resizing the pics.i still have no info on the eagle button if someone coud help me. here is what i found on the china coin SHAN LUNG SERIES

Note the two small upright lines at the bottom of the bottom character. These Shan Lung coins were mostly issued after his abdication in 1796, but Hartill records it was used as early as 1770 at some mints in Sinkiang Province.

Persistence pays off with all those iron targets. Good job!
