ok I will ask, What is a fatty? I am assuming its the round thing with the star, but what is it?

The "Fatty" refers to the thick width of the early IH cents as compared to the later more thin Indian cents (Like Lincolns). The earlier IH cents were an alloy and usually take on a different appearance because of the alloy content. I have never found one either, but I have only ever found 5 IH's anyways in 25 years!

Wow, that property looks like a dream location. I hope you guys really clean up there. Really looking forward to lots more. And thanks for all of the pics, the more the better!

HH, Mark
