First Indian Head

[Hill Billy]

Well I decided to go out and do some detectin today.It was a beautiful day today no clouds,sunny, and fairly warm.Took a walk down a ridge top here on the farm.Must have walked a half mile out and half mile back.I found some nails and shotgun primers, bullets,scrap the usual.I took my time trying to find a coin today.I decided i was getting tired of swinging and headed back for home.On the way out i switchedd sides of the ridge top to see what may be on the other side.I was almost ready to call it quits when i heard a good signal.I said to myself ,thats a coin.I dug my plug and scanned the hole it was still there.Dug a little deeper and out popped the coin I was looking for.I scanned the area a little more to see if anything else wanted to go home with me, but nothing.I waited till I got home before i cleaned so I didn't know what I had found.I made sure not to rub it( Thanks Buckle Boy ).Gave it a little faucet bath and lightly brushed it.It's my first IH find.I'll post some pics after the peroxide bath.It's cleaning up nice

Nice, 1866 is a better date coin. Even in bad condition they are exciting as all get out to find!

Once again everyone,thanks for your comments. It was truly a good find for me.I'm looking for a large cent now.Thats my next goal .

BRAVO HB! I don't know how I missed this thread, but a big congratulations to you. Seems like the parts of that coin that had the green patina cleaned up well, but the parts where it was eaten by the ground were lost. Sometimes we like what the peroxide reveals and sometimes we don't. Best wishes to you. I'm sure we'll hunt again soon.

Will, thanks for your help with my detecting skills,I just need to get better with this machine so i can find some more goodies.

PS: Everyone should always carry duct tape while detecting.

Duct tape ROCKS!!!!!!!
