Three Little Indians

[Brett]

Got out to a new place yesterday with my Dad, Goio, SMAN and McEtrak. Everyone was so worried about it raining, but all I cared about was that we got there early and have the possibility of no rain and a full day of detecting! We got there early enough and all day it didn't rain! Perfect. Some of the ground was 3" of ice-mud... and I probably cut one too many of those plugs. I did think it was worth it every time and every time I did I wasn't disappointed. I ended up with 3 indians, 8 wheaties (oldest 1910, one was 1914-P! doh), sterling fair pin?, silver inlay pocket knife, religious pendant, and a cool token from 1961 and about a $1.50 in clad.

I'd love to write some more of the story! But I have to get off to work. Wait 'til you see my dad's finds.

I feel like this last hunt of the year was my best day for 2008!

First day I found 3 IH's in one day.
First day I found 8 wheaties in one day.
And I got some silver! weeeee.

Oh, this was only my SECOND hunt with the E-TRAC as well! Can't wait until Spring!!!

Nice finds Brett!
That pin looks like it's from the 20's. It looks like we should've hooked up with you guys.

Tim, Once I get a chance to that's the thing I'm interested in most.

And what a great day for it hunt it was! Congrats on those great finds Brett. The stick pin appears to be a hand painted Victorian era enameled version. Possibly with a bit of inlaid gold? What a great find!
Here's a slide show of some other stick pins you may enjoy. Nice Injuns also!

Awesome finds! I wish I can find more Indian head cents. I vow to find more next year. Those look to be in great shape. Nice relics too! Now we play the waiting game: How long will it be until we are able to hunt again?
