Hit the park this morning, an area that has yield some really nice IHPs in the past. To my surprise the ground was solid as a rock, some areas were diggable, I was pulling nothing but trash, iron, foil, and nails. I then get a bouncy tone at 8 inches deep, I'm thinking more deep good sounding iron.
To my surprise this little green gem pops out, Im thinking let it be an Indian, i have pulled some deep wheats from this area as well. An an indian it was, As i clean the obverse with my thumb, I was surprised to see the last two digits of the date 77, At the point i decided not to clean anymore, packed up and the decided to call it a day with my lone keeper, but what a keeper it is. 15966000_367296446960948_3960727355852125258_n.jpg15895142_367296440294282_6758235517078350320_n.jpg15940558_367297086960884_5362683979331194853_n.jpg15965140_367297083627551_1662679830361359998_n.jpg15895118_367296443627615_4883284216731198049_n.jpg15965403_367297080294218_8826988182586148803_n.jpg

Nice find! And I just learned something new about the key date, thank you. The oldest IHP I have found is a 1898 and I thought that was cool but this is the bomb!
