By popular demand here are the Indian head pennies. Best pics I could manage with camera. Needed practice posting anyhow. In regards to the question how long I've been hunting, somewhere between 15 to 20 years. Arrowhead hunted before that. I hunted the site all fall I doubt anyone could find a pin there now. The clinker pile gave me fits but rooted through it and found pieces of cast iron pots. This is the continuation of post about (pics from 1800 house site).

Yes! Just keep on digging those targets. Can you feel the gold coins calling you? Spotz

horseshoe - fyi, if your camera has a macro mode (my Olympus uses a little icon of a flower for macro mode), that would help the clarity of your pictures. Otherwise, it looks like you're camera is just too close to the object to take a clear picture.

Im with seismo on the camera issue. What camera model and make are you using? Perhaps we can assist you in getting it tweeked for closeup shots.

Great finds!

the camera was in micro mode and it looked good through the viewer(in focus) but didn't come out well. the site has been hunted down to the last piece of rust. I dug everything. i also used two different types of Md's in all conditions(rain/dry, etc.). Research of property and family shows that they were dirt poor. Barely two cents to rub together and i found those.

Hey! play nice guys! I wasn't saying the pics were bad. Just unfocused a bit. Yes, you can see enough in them as they are but, I was just trying to help if I could.

One more note on the pics and I won't say another word on it. Macro mode is sorta touchy on most cameras. Even in macro mode on most camera's (I'm talking about cameras as old as mine, 2 years or so) you still have a minimum distance you have to be away from the object your photographing. I have a Fuji S5000 which is a pretty nice camera and the macro mode minimum distance is 3 feet from object. So, perhaps,...and I'm just speculating here, you were just a bit closer than your camera's minimum distance. ALSO, if your using the small view finder (the one that you have to put your eye up against like with 35mm SLR cameras) to take photos, they can be focused separate from the lense on some models. In other words, the image in the view finder may be look'n good but you may be too close and the image will come out unfocused a bit.

Just some freindly suggestions. You've done a fine job as it is. Just trying to offer some help to further your cause

By the way, those are beauts!

Pics of coins in holders just don't come out well. I scan my coinage and most everything else. Good enough to post for me but then my digcam is an old Fuji 1200, one of their very early models. The Kitchen Funding Committee won't appropriate new photo funds this year. Better go find some, eh? But it looks like Horseshoe had macro settings on, just a lighting and slight focus issue. Hey, great finds are great finds, no matter how they look on the net. Nice digs!

If my daughter don't return my digital I may never get a pix posted until I buy another one. Spotz
