Fatty Indian and a button

[john845]

I got out for three hours today to a site I hit pretty hard already. The button popped up pretty early. I was determined to find a coin before I called it quits. I found my first fatty a 1859!! I got close last week when I found a 64 there but it was the thin version. I lost count of how many Indians I found there. I been finding older ones lately so that's nice. Happy hunting everyone!!!

Nice! And in good condition too. I also found 2 Indian heads yesterday. 1900 & 1859. I don't really know much about them yet but they were both thicker than an average penny. They were the first ones i've ever dug.

1859 - 64 are called fattys because they are thicker then later year indians. not all 64 are fattys though.
