We did a lot of running today and got back late and I had a little time, so I swung out here in Grandmas yard. Have the 10x5” Coiltek on for the Nox800. Scanned a little in the yard digging solid mid tones. Found a piece of a horse shoe and a little pocket knife.
Ventured over to the hill and decided to scan the slope Good again. Out half way through the left side I got a nice 17/18. About 5 1/2” and out popped an 1876 Indian. I marked the spot with a stick stuck in the ground if You zoom in a bit. I really like finding Indian Head Pennies. Think this one is kind of a key date too. Thanks for looking and

Very nice! Glad to see I'm not the only one that marks coin find spots with sticks, I do it with 2 sticks. I do that so I see the location of the coin drops at the site to mark the activity.

So close to the rare 1877 key date IH.

Started with a Minelab xterra 505. Then Equinox 600 with stock coil, xl coil and sinper coil depending on circumstances. Now use a manticore.

Those 1870s Indians are tough digs. Congrats it cleaned up well. In 3 years of detecting I've only dug an 1878 and 1879 of the 1870s years. They were pretty much right next to each.
