Hey guys haven't posted in a while,been working alot!! I went to a lot where I found a bunch of wheats and a couple of rosies. I got a stange penny signal and dug it up, then lost it :icon_scratch:. So I covered the hole and rechecked and got the penny signal again :icon_scratch: :icon_scratch:. So I turned the discrem all the way down and finally found the target :thumbsup:. But it was so crudy I couldn't figure out what it was :icon_scratch:. I went to pick up kids and started washing it, and dang if I didn't see feathers! It took me three days of cleaning before I could see the date 1892!!! My first indian and first pre 1900 coin :thumbsup:. The next week I found my first silver half a 64 kennedy. Then the next day I found a 1900 Queen Victoria penny :icon_queen:at a local park. I was suprised by this find because most of parks around here are pounded pretty hard. Its Florida lots of retired people with metal detecters :angel4:. Anyway thanks for lookin and happy hunting Bighead

CONGRATS on your IH, what kind of place did you pull it out of to be pitted like that? Or did that happen while cleaning it?

Is that an 1892 or an 1882? I think I see 82. That's 10 years older and very cool, if so.

Congrats either way.

Wow two firsts with one coin!!!! Now you know, IH come in lower in the discrimination than zinc pennies, so turn down your discrimination and pick off the old IH's the retiree's left behind!!

I believe you are right..... Also, could this IH be an error coin? Check out the date again.

I don't see an overdate listed in the coin guide but if so that would definitely be a rare find.

Can we get a better pic of the date?

Thanks for the posts guys!!! I will have to look at the date again and see if it is a error coin. I got a new camera for christmas and it takes really good pictues as you can see, I just have to learn to use it. the date is 1892 it just has a pit on the nine. I don't know whats in the soil at this old home site but all the pennies come out looking bad? The silver on the other hand looks new, I dug 2 rosies and the kennedy half from this location. Anyway thanks again and i'll keep you posted :thumbsup:. HH Bighead
