Went on a hunt with Jeff of Pa. I found two Indians 1896 and smashed 1870. It's hard to make out the date. I also got a 1919 wheat with some clad that is soaking in soapy water. Thanks for looking

I like the nice even patina on the smushed coin, lets anyone see it's period. That 96 is in great shape too. Nice finds

If you look at it with the naked eye you can see the 1870. I just couldn't zoom in enough with the camera to get a clearer pic than that. I couldn't do anything with the computer either. Jeff411972 said it could have been smashed with a trolley car. I didn't think of that.

Cool on the 1870 date & Jeff's Correct
it is possable a Trolly was in that area in the
Mid to late 1800's
 
Too bad the IH is smashed, but I bet there's a good story of how it got that way.... Nice finds!!
