Weekend Indian Heads and Barber

[Goldiver]

A hunting buddy was nice enough to invite me on a hunt saturday. It was the site of an old one room schoolhouse and had been hunted before. We gave it a shot and I found a 1907-O Barber dime, a 1907 Indian Head cent, and a 1918 Lincoln cent. Just before finding the Barber dime I found a tiny good luck charm , which I forgot to photograph. One side says Good Luck to You, the other side has a horse shoe and a clover.

Sunday we hunted one of my old spots and I got a nice 1906 Indian Head, 1911, 1929, and 1940 wheat cents.

Thanks for the compliments. I cleaned the 1906 Indian Head by soaking in peroxide for 1-1/2 to 2 hours and taking it out and clean it with a wet Q-Tip. I then repeat the process several times, you have to keep an eye on them because if you leave them soaking too long it seems to dull them a little. The '06 could stand a little more treatment on the reverse. I just recently started trying this process, some one had posted it online, so I can't take all the credit. So far it seems to work rather nicely on the right coins.

[Admiral de Salee]

Great coins! I'm glad the peroxide treatment worked so well on the '06. That coin deserves to look its best (i.e. look New).
What a hunt!

[Mirage]

Nice coins! It's so nice when the IH's come out looking so good. Most of my nice looking ones are from the 1900's. Barber looks great too.

I gotta get up to Sandusky soon to take my mom's dock out of the bay. Water is starting to get cold and I don't have a wet suit. :P

I see you use fisher detectors. Which one is you primary land machine?

They must have been dropped soon after being minted. That Barber dime is a beauty!


Nice coins!
