Hard to get excited for some indians after finding colonial silver

[toasted]

Last two trips to my cut Pistareen site has produced little so I tried two other field permissions. I proved that both sites had 19th century activity as I hoped but the finds were sparse. Only three indians is not enough to have high hopes for these sites. Always searching for the next honeyhole

If you plan to throw them out, let me know. I'll give them a good home.
Nice triplets!

Congrats on the injuns, sometimes I might visit a site a couple times before the goodies come

Oh, I'd be happy to dig those.
It's getting harder to dig any 1860-70's Indians out here in Denver, and even the newer dates tend to be toastie.
We got some nasty-ass metals in our soil. Between the smelting and the dumping, copper tends to look like crap.
That top 1864 really looks purdy!
Kudos,
Carl

Keep hunting the area, I'm sure more goodies lurk under the ground!

Two 1864's, nice. 1864 is a key date, look for a "L" in the ribbon.

Don't feel bad my friend....I found 2 mercs yesterday at the 1600s site that I dug the tree coin and cob. Metal detecting gods are playing games with us buddy

 

[DigIron2]

Nice condition anyway..I'd takum.You should see what I dug this afternoon..I don't need to post..Look no further then a trash can, lol...nice hunt

 

[Loco-Digger]

I know the feeling toasted, it's hard to get the happy dance going after you've dug some great pieces. Those 3 Injuns look sweet and are something to take pride in. I'm sure you will pull another bucket lister soon enough. I hope you at least cracked a smile when you recognized those targets.

Indians are always welcome in my coin books.

Listen you two, I don't claim to know everything, I did get a giggle when I seen you both comment that new stuff was in your old spots.
Have you ever heard of the saying, "he's old as dirt"
If I had an old farm that I know was occupied by 1600's- 1700's farmers/migrant worker/pickers I would not let a few "modern coins" stop me from still hunting for that colonial stuff we all convent.
I remember a guy "who's name we shall not speak" used to find those "what he called (pesky Indians)" of course I don't know if he bought them on eBay or found them? He would leave them in the back of his pickup truck. I used to think, it must be nice to be able to find those poor little Indians and just throw them around like trash. Haaa, lol I'm grateful when I find them, merc's, wheats, toasted wheat whatever. I'm just saying, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Early in my quest to find things I was looking for that magic honey hole, a couple of them were full of "modern coins" My point, in case your wondering, is just because you find something made in the mid 1800's does not mean there is not earlier stuff hiding under that and for myself, I'm grateful for any keepers.

I would be thrilled to find a silver coin of any age any day on any site. Toasted coppers are ok too but not as thrilling
