Short hunt tonight and a nice 1863 Indian

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

Tonight after work I had a some time to kill so I headed accross the road to the hay field. I must start off be saying that this field has been good to me. My first hunt in the field was last fall. I have found, 3 Draped Bust Large Cents, 1 Classic Head, 1 George Washington Inaugural Button, my first Walking Liberty Half, other silver coins and MANY old relics. How much can there be in this field.
Tonight I hunted for about 20 minutes before the deer flies and my back told me it was time to go home. I dug only two targets. the first was a modern fired bullet. The second as I was wildly swinging on my way home was a nice 1863 Indian Head Cent! The signal was reading 16 - 18 on my Minelab. This usually ends up a pulltab or other junk. To my surprise a fatty was staring up at me.
I am happy with how she cleaned up.
Here are some before and after pics.

Thanks for lookin' VPR
