dug a key date 1872 Indian today!

It's hard enough to break into the 18 hundreds where I am super happy about the date!

It's really in better condition than I managed to make it look here in bad lighting

Congrats.
Not that you'd complain on a date, but that's a great year to recover.
Whoo hoo!
Them can get pricey in good shape...or just cool to keep.

Ridiculously hot high noon with zero shade where I found it

 

[WhiteTornado]

Great score, and braved the outdoor oven to get it!

 

[GatorBoy]

Still very happy about that one.
There was a lot of junk in that lot.. It had been about 3 hours before I dug that coin.. Things really started to dry up and were turning into mostly modern scraps of aluminum and clad coins and other junk then I hit one patch where I dug three lead sack seals then I got one more signal that kind of jumped back and forth between what I thought was another seal and a bit of a higher chirp it came up with



another seal in the same hole

Booyah!

Exactly.. It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I could finally sit down and get something to drink
