Congrats on your finds! I haven't found an IH yet. I have my fingers crossed that I will one of these days.

I have only found 5 IH cents since I started detecting, but ALL were from before 1900! It's the place I found them in. Do what I have done. Go very slow and work that place from one side to another. Pay special attention to the walkway edges and stuff. Give your detector time to interpret each signal, but not so slow that it picks up iron and trash. Experiment! I recently slowed down my approach with my Whites XLT in old areas and it has really paid dividends.

Congrats on the IH. I found my first last year. It was a 1904. I was very excited also.

You did have a great day..but for some reason I was thinking that IH was a 1902...Ohhhh..I did have to get glasses...900 bucks worth. We will have to that again soon.
