You just barely made it into 1800! That's a real nice one with lots of detail. You have good dirt. Gary
 

My first 1800s coin was exactly like yours,an 1898 IHC. It was bittersweet because when I showed all my finds to the property owner, they said I could have it all except for that Indian. I was so devstated......

i wouldn't of cared if it was 1900 something i'm just happy with my first IHP
 

Welcome to the 1800's club. I dig all solid signals and most that may vary by 1 or 2 digits.
 

First time in the 19th century and it’s a IH Cent AND it’s not corroded!!! Boy o boy you are officially hooked. I remember my first 1800’s coin and man did the game change. Enjoy it, look at it and love it. It’s like your first love you’ll never forget it. Congratulations gold boy!!!!!!!!!
 

I will certainly be celebrating when I find my first Indian Head ! I've found 4 or 5 while coin roll hunting in the last year and a half . Excellent find
 

Congrats on your first IHP. That’s in beautiful condition.
 

That's great I remember my first 1800s it was a Canadian quarter than an Indian then a spill of 5 Injins then a 1876 seated quarter I almost needed a diaper. Seems after the first they started rolling in . Great diggings my friend!!!!!!
 

Ill tell ya those Indians seem to come up weird on my VDI also.

So, a guy I hunt with has had two requests for an IHP from the property...idk what it is but people love them.

He's still looking for one, and I'm still after a buffalo.

I've had them come in from tab up to half dollar on deeper ones.

Congrats on the 1800's! That thing is NICE!
 

Took me until earlier this year to find my first 1800s US coin. Now I've got a couple handfuls. Nice job!!
