IH Indian Head (Just The Head!)Pin

[Woodland Detectors]

Dug this one today. Thought we would share this with you . "One Mans Trash" (T-net) Said, That these were cut out of Penny's with jewelers saws and wire blades. Can you imagine how tedious that could be?

Your trusty pinpointer will find it. My $14.99 cheapie will locate even a tiny ketchup pack fragment.

They are pretty cool, I have a British Farthing version but no pin, or marks were a pin might have been. I always wondered why they did this. maybe mine never made it into full production or maybe it had another use as a lucky or demo piece

 

[DugHoles]

How cool is that!

Good Luck and Happy Hunting,

It is tedious work. I used to make them as an extra money making scheme. Would have to buy the coins from a federal reserve bank, to get a recieit, so as to not get busted for defacing U.S. coinage. Would glue or solder posts, rings, tie tacs, bezels to them afterwards. A set, tie tack, and pair of cufflinks would set ya back 25.00. Would buy slightly worn coins. Silver dollar with fields removed, turned into pendant would cost ya 50.00. I don't do it anymore because jewelers saw blades got way to expensive.........NGE

 

[Detectingfreak]

That is cool! I might learn how to do that! It sounds like a fun hobby! That way when JuJu and I go detecting this summer, I can plant a silver Coin head in the ground for him He will be astonished, but annoyed lol

Hey Freak, just another note. Don't get in a hurry when cutting coins, the blades are very brittle.
