Found my first 1877 Indian Head!

[lostlake88]

It took a couple hundred Indian Heads to finally find the one I have been hopeing for. I haven't posted in a while because I took an extended break from metal detecting. Decided to go out today and take advantage of the rain soaked soil. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw those two seven's. I was using my 8" coil and it was about 6-7" deep.

Get that puppy graded... from your pic I'd say you have a solid VG to F, I feel like more of LIBERTY is visible than your picture allows. In that condition, according to the 2013 Red Book, you're holding $1100 - $1500 in ungraded bronze awesomeness Leave some in the ground for the rest of us
