EYEBALLED Indian head today

[GatorBoy]

Real funny how this worked out... I broke my digger so it turned out I was having to cut my hunt short but before leaving I decided to walk the site a little hoping to find maybe a bottle button or some other non-metallic object... As soon as I saw this little green disc I knew it was going to be something pretty cool and figured it would be a wheat penny so I decided to take a photo it wasn't until I moved it and saw what I thought was a wheat stalk was a wreath...NICE! 1906.. Also wound up with a silver plated fork.. And several other odds and ends

Nope.. Just a couple miles from it.
A lot of our area is all sugary sand like that

That was nowhere near just lying there that was almost a foot below the surface before I broke my digger.. Same thing with the fork just didn't take photos of it

I think there is a way to report lost & broken Benchmarks.

Not sure on misplaced ones though.


the original may have already been replaced

I will look into that not sure if it was replaced or not the area where I found it had old homes demolished and was bulldozed.. About 20 years ago

Very Neat finds.And hey,atleast you had the fork to dig with once the fisker broke...hehe. HH

 

[GatorBoy]

Right...

Yea ? they say there is a fine for messing with them, but
I wonder how many have been dozed in the name of Progress

Nice eyeball score!! Gotta love that sugar sand!!

I hunt in the low country of SC about once a year and appreciate the easy digging adn how the relics pop out!! Beats picking at hard clay like we do in most of the year in our sites!!

 

[GatorBoy]

Thanks.. Yeah easy digging is great..
