Indian Head Cent

[michael NY]

I dug this from a celler hole along the Hudson River same place I poped out a 1873 Two Cent piece drilled with holes years ago. It's washed out plenty of iron junk still there. The Etrac open screen it managed to hit on the 1883 Indian Head Cent it was 7 inches deep. only find but it's more significant to me because of where it was found.
My resource who is now passed gave me information on the sight saying it was 1900s railroad. His family built the 10 room house 1878 above the caller hole. When I go back to visit I think I will offer the coin to his son we are tight also and it's a nice reminder of his pop one of a kind. His tips gave me best leads, he enjoyed the relics and shared best life local stories I should have recorded them. Thanks for looking Michael HH
