1887 & 1903 Indians and the end of my curse!
I got out this morning for a while, and decided to hit a forest that was the location of one of the first settlements in New Jersey. Well, the spot is very urban now and had so much trash that hunting was impossible, even with my sniper coil. So I decided to hit a wooded area closer to my house, which I first hunted years ago, and has been hit hard over the years, so I was not optimistic. I left the trails and finally found an old brick pile, and dug two Indians, one, a 1903 in nice shape with nice coloring, the other, an 1887 in such bad shape I was just glad to see a date.
In seven years of metal detecting I have found coins going back to the 1700's, but until today I had never found a coin older than 1902 in my own county! Well today I finally broke the curse with the beat up 1887 Indian Head found only a few miles from my home!
