Dug a small tribe of indians today, and a bit of silver

[Goes4ever]

Last nite we got a much needed 2 1/4 inches of rain....so I know exactly where I was going..door knocking!!!Last year I knocked at this 1860's house and got turned down, but this spring he gave me permission for a field he owned where an old church used to stand. I hunted it this spring and while there I found a token that had the owners deceased mother's name on it, have been meaning to take it to him for a long time, was waiting for a good rain so I could ask again to hunt his yard.Well today I knocked on his door and handed him the token and his eyes lit up, he was so happy I had found it and took it to him. So now was the time to ask to hunt his yard......he said "sure, don't see why not"!!!.......yes, sweet! Giving him the token worked perfect in my favor, It meant more to him than me anyhow.Well in his yard I got 4 wheats, 1920 buffalo, 5 indians 1883, 1889, 1899, 1905 and 1906....small sterling ring, bird pin, 1950 dog tag, and a small crotal bell.....and only 4 clad coins, gotta love yards like that. While I was there his wife who said "NO" last year was bringing me out iced lemonade today. unreal they were like different people today.When I was done I showed them all my finds and asked them if they wanted anything, I could tell she was eyeballing the crotal bell, I handed it to her and told her to keep it, she said "no I can't take it, you found it", I insisted she keep it and it seemed to make her day.Amazing what kindness they showed me today after giving them that token......oh and that takes me to 101 injuns for the year!!

Nice job. Great story!

Great job all the way around... Glad you are giving our hobby a better reputation then most people perceive. Those small things that most never think about go along way. Congrats

wow, your soil is kind to those. I dug a bunch over the past two weeks and most were green blobs!

The IH cents came out very nice....I just dug 8 at a new site in my last 2 or 3 hunts. How are you cleaning them? I found two 1884 and it seems they are both double dies. Any '84 double dies in your 100 IHs? I was surprised to see the first (one both sides) and even more so to see the second (obv). Was it common in that year to have a double die error? Nice finds all around!
