Another milestone from the back yard

[kfetters]

Hi everybody!

Just got in from my back yard with a fantastic find! My oldest coin so far… An 1893 Indian head penny!! YES!!! Couldn’t believe when I saw it. It was about 12 inches down and hidden by at least 5 nails. Go Pro-pointer for helping get through that mess and the Ace for actually seeing it to begin with.
I’ve had to start using the real shovel now. Dug an exceptional amount of trash. Clearing out the junk means more finds to be had I‘m sure.. Also got an old watch buckle. Another “double check” your junk moment. It was at least 10 inches down and next to the pottery so I assume it's pretty old.
I beat my previous oldest coin by 28 years!
Thanks for checking it out and good luck
Kenny
