Hi everyone,
I've been out a bunch in 2007 with only a couple wheaties and clad making it into the pouch so far. Yesterday afternoon I met up with JohnnyMc and TnT2000 for about an hour after work. Because of snow on the ground, we went to a patch of woods that's produced big time for us in the past. We've hammered this spot, but we always squeak out something. We are now moving brush and fallen trees to find targets and under the first log I moved came my 20th IH out of this area.....1859 and it has pretty good detail.
Thanks for looking and HH.

The 1859 "Nickel" (as they were called before the introduction of the nickel five cent piece in 1867) Should fetch between $50-$100 in that condition!'

I found a badly corroded one not too long ago.

Great find!
 
Wow, a highly detailed, uncorroded IH...and an 1859 to top it all! Very cool. HH
