My friend Canslaw & I found a new field today that we have been researching for the last year and today between the oak trees we had a short 1.5 hour hunt there. He dug a heavy silver men's chain and I dug 2 Indian Cents. 1887 & 1895... both crusty but keepers :)

Sweet and congrats! 1895 Indian, my very first good dug target and I was hooked!
 

IH'S always make for a good hunt...
 

Nice Indian finds!
 

nice set of injuns, my favorite cent!!
 

gotta love those IHs, great finds
 

Thanks everyone... this new site ( I am a bad guesser) is like 5 - 10 acres... we will be there for a while... :) The last time our research shows that anyone used this site is approx pre 1910. Before that is was used by hundreds of people each year... :) There was supposed to be an old race track (horses) there... Cant wait to do this site again :)

Nice finds! Thanks for sharing...
 

Sounds like a great site Gary. Any site that had that many people roaming around is gonna have some hot spots. You'll find em and end up with a pile of silver. And day with a couple of old coins is a good day
 

WTG Gary! Did you ever make it over to the fairgrounds I told you about? Plenty of deep silver there for sure!

Hi Larry....I was there once for approx 1 hour at day break this winter when the ground was frosted over. After a few swings the coil would have like and inch of snow on it. Lots of trash but too cold to really hunt. I will go back over this spring. Hey... maybe you got all of the silver from that site? :) Thanks for the tip :)

Congrats on the IHCs. One of my favorite coins to find. Looks like you might be on a good spot. GL&HH!
