Found A 1800's Coin On A Very Short Hunt

[E-Trac-Ohio]

Yesterday I did a 20 min. hunt along a 100 ft. long section of very old Sidewalk.
Dug a Zinc Lincoln Cent and thought I was probably wasting time being there at all.
Only got one hit after that - 6" to 7" down - a real nice 1882 Indian Cent.
Indian Cent # (51) FTY.

Good Hunting !

A very nice looking IHP. Your 20 min hunt paid off. I've hunted much , much longer and found much, much less. Kudos.

Yes, this hobby is very unpredictable - but that's what keeps it interesting.
I went on a hunt last month and literally less than two minutes into the hunt found a real nice Barber Dime.
Then no good finds at all for the next 2 hours.

Same experience here, dug up a 1928 silver quarter in this park and for the next 3 hours nothing. Went back to the same park for like maybe 3 or 4 more times, never did I find another old coin, I found an old spoon with markings and then lately found an old intact bullet. Not a single old coin again.
