Found an old homesite about 3 miles from me that had a home in 1952, possibly earlier. Swingin the Simplex here today and kinda bummed cause headphone volume dropped off and weak signals almost inaudible. I was gonna pack it up so I decided to swing on the way back to my truck. Got a solid signal with 68-70 ID#. About 4-5" deep, I was shocked to find this IH! Only found a zinc penny and mucho trash up to that point so I figured another zincoln. Very good condition. 1907, my oldest so far!

Thanks! I'm using Garrett wired headphones, but I figured out the problem. The TRS terminals in the 1/4" female jack were not making good contact. I used a jeweler's screwdriver and pried them out a bit. Works great now!

Glad you got them fixed !!
