indian head

very first Indian head penny! Also found a Wheatie and a handful of clad. Such a great day

Got permission for an Indiana farm, and after finding the Indian Head penny (my only old coin on the day), I was super excited to find my largest shell casing, a Remington Arms .50 cal (likely a Korean War souvenir, right?), and my coolest Hot Wheels yet, a 1967 green Deora. If you’ve never seen...

We were digging a gas line in a yard that I've detected before, but going down 18 inches is a whole lot different than detecting the top 8-10 inches! So I found this guy with no detector, no pin-pointer, no nothing. Just a shovel and my eyes. Guess I've been looking at a lot of dirt lately, and...

DUG NEAR SMITHFIELD, VIRGINIA Button, flattened shank and words SUPER FINE STRONG visible. I am thinking circa 1840. any ideas?????? Buckle. No idea about age. Thinking mid 1800s also, but, who knows. *Indian Head dug in a separate location and a day earlier. Indian head penny. No...

My best find to date. Spent two hours on the beach this morning. The dime was almost on the surface. Because of all the encouragment I got here after posting the car wash token, I decided to get back at it as soon as possible. Nickel looks like it says 1920, difficult to read. Other is 5...

I was just going over some of my dug coins and happened to notice that the greener the Indian Head cent, the less it weighs. I know the green doesn't really stand out in this pic the way it does while you are holding them in your hand. Anyway, the really green toned ones weigh as little as 2.7...

I found this 1888 Indian head near an old school 1 room house. Since I figured out it was an 1888 I have not cleaned it with anything more than mineral oil and a paper towel. The last digit is the only one that's hard to distinguish. This is as good of pics as I could manage with my old phone...

Yesterday, I looked through my fourth penny box and found my first IH. I was stoked! I also made a few other interesting finds. A 1957 Canadian cent in excellent condition and a 1976 capped die error, which I had to look up. It also has a line across the right side of Lincoln's face...any...

Back home Detecting w/ a 1870's home permission and First Silver of the Year Was able to go back home to Illinois last week and I have an older detector at my parents house that was still working so I hit the back yards of my Parents house and Grandparents house. Both houses were built in the...

Combined two days of hunting. Notable finds: three of my favorite pennies (Indians), Odd Fellow pins, old Venus oil lamp burner, Rogers Bros spoon, Pontiac Token, filigree heart pendant, and New York Standard Watch Co. open faced pocket watch (well, what was left of it). All found most in...

While rolling some pennies I discovered a 1904 Indian Head encrusted with some sort of gem looking object. I have no idea what it is but maybe some of you guys can help me out.

Michigan Metal Detecting A Few Nice keepers From A 1800's Park Mike and i went to a small pounded 1800's park Sunday...not to many coins left in the park,, but did manage to dig a few nice coins.<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">

Probably not such an amazing find for some people, but I did find out that this is one of the rarer years (pre '78) which are highly sought after... It's a great find for me because I just started metal detecting recently and my oldest coin so far was a 1912 wheaty from my backyard. Also, this...

This is me finding a great condition IH penny at a local park:

I went back to the park where I recently got the 1883 nickel and I got a 1901 IH penny. :laughing7: It's in pretty good shape! I wasn't able to stay very long because it was hot and humid and pretty uncomfortable. I have a day off soon and am planning to attack that park with a vengeance at...

Found the 1864 Indian head that was in an old roll and was wondering if it had some kind of mint error? I can't think of any other reason this would happen. Thanks!

Ok, I started coin roll hunting in February until late April early June when I started metal detecting and took a break in coin roll hunting. I will start coin roll hunting again when I can't detect. Anyway, Here are my Favorite moments in coin roll hunting. (No, silver found :crybaby2:) 1859...

1859 indian head cent found coin roll hunting I have only opened about a box and a half total (returning all the junk everyday pennys) and found lots of great finds including two IH cents A 1891 in VG condition and A 1859 in VF condition. I already had the 1891 but I will still very excited...

Here are scans of my current Indian Head cent collection as of Sun., Jan. 13, 2013. I found all these from boxes of MWR cents over the past 7 months. I found (27) in total, but sold 2 so I only have 25 now. The coins are in the same positions in the scan of the tails as in the scan of the...

I found three Indian head pennies yesterday: 1869, 1886, and 1903. Unfortunately the 1869 and 1886 cents are badly corroded, but the dates are still readable. The 1869 and 1903 pennies were found by running my Ryedale for a second pass over the rejects from 50 boxes of pennies with a 2005 zinc...

Here is a small assortment of finds I've picked out of some very trashy & hunted out sites over the past week or so. There are a couple of Civil War bullets, (some 69 cal. round balls, some 54 cal. round balls, and 1 44 Cal. Sage pistol bullet. The balls came from a "hunted out area". The 44...

Haven't posted in this forum for a while. So, I decided to take everything I found so far in the last two months, point out the finds that stand out of common and share with you, fellow hunters. This is the first time I found a silver commemorative dollar and silver halves for face value...

I'm swingin' in the rain... Today was the day I got to try out my new Garret AT Pro. Perfect day to try it out too. I was in the field swinging for about 30 minutes and then the rain started falling. I threw up the hood on my sweatshirt and pressed on, knowing I didn't have to worry about...
