IIIII'M BACK!
It took seven weeks, not the four to six I expected, for my broken elbows to heal enough to let me dig targets. Yesterday after work I went to a field where an old church once stood. I have hunted it on and off for the past thirty years, but yesterday was exceptional. In two hours I found a 1914D Barber dime, six Indian head cents, eight wheaties, and a 10 cent trade token. The bad news is that this field HATES copper and aluminum. Of the IH cents only three could be dated. They were 1890, 1898, and 1905. The others could barely be identified as IH. The wheats were worse. two could be dated, 1909 and 1917. The trade token was from a store in Farina, IL. The name of the store was too corroded to make out.
Even with all the damaged coins, it was great to get back out and find something. I've really missed detecting.
Pictures were requested. Here are pictures of these poor abused coins.
