Nice going Leon. Those silver thimbles are really nice. I found one last year, and thats the only one I have found. I just found a great way to clean the Indian heads. There was a guy at the BONE (best of the North East) show who said to put them in Hydrogen Peroxide for a day or so and then clean them off. I have tried it on a few and it works great. Give it a try...Congrats on some great finds...Lance

Re: 3 More IH's / Silver Thimble

Nice digs Leon. Those coins are awesome! And a silver anything is like icing on the cake. Nice work!!!!
 

Re: 3 More IH's / Silver Thimble

Nice digs Leon. The 76 is a nice one. I also like the silver thimble. There nice to find. Keep up the good hunting.

Take care Jer
 

Re: 3 More IH's / Silver Thimble

Excellent digs Leon. Hitting those older deeper Indian head cents and nickels
sure can make a guys day. Maybe the site will yield a silver coin or two for ya.
Best of luck to you on raising some more indians from the dead.
 

Re: 3 More IH's / Silver Thimble / Updated: 2 more IH's... & 2 "V's"

Hey all,,,
Sorry, it's taken me awhile to get back to the post. The forum is growing so fast, I can't keep up. Going to have to break down and buy me some of them things they call glasses? ::)
Thanks for the reply,,, This particular site has been good to me, no silver, other than the thimble, but I have found a total of 12 IH's, 4 liberty nickles, 2 shielded nickles, and numerous wheaties. I went back today for a few hours and found:
2 - IH's: 1887, 1906
2 - Liberty "V" Nickles: 1899, 1908
2 - Wheaties: 1919, 1941
As stated earlier,,, as long as it keeps producing,,, I'll be back... ;D
Good luck & Happy hunting~
