IH finally!

[ArmyJoe]

Yesterday I was having trouble deciding where to go digging, so I just drove around and stumbled across a park with some huge oaks and thought it looked interesting. Luck was on my side because the first hole I dug gave up an 1895 IH! My first IH too. I didn't get anything else out of this park as my detector was beeping nonstop from all the crap it was hitting. So I'm off to find something new in the NW Burbs of Chicago again today...

Nice IH, if you go back to that park move very slow over that junk because the silver is waiting for ya...

Very Nice looking Penney. I've been at this for 13 months now and have yet to stumble on to an Indian Head.

Finally , That will be my response too - perhaps with a happy expletive too! ( ten years in and I still haven't found one ). Congrats man !

Time to implement a small search coil if you have one.

Hey, if that's all you found, then you still had a great day in my book!

I've been at this since May/June with my Safari. It's been a huge learning curve just getting used to the machine and learning all the settings, sounds and tones, and recognizing what I just scanned with the machine. I've gone through three different diggers and have modified my forth so I can dig deeper and longer without my hands cramping up. I've probably spent enough on batteries that I should buy stock in Duracell and always have my reachable with me too.

Congrats! I have only dig 2 of them.

 

[Carolina Tom]
