First Indian Cent for 2024

[IHC656]

Was detecting where I didn’t expect to find anything old. Was getting clad and a religious pendant which I will put in the school lost and found tomorrow. Then this 1875 IHC. Had to have my kid use his eyes to confirm the date.

They tore up the streets and sidewalks in Allegan last summer. Did you get a chance to hunt that?

No. I never convinced myself self to go. And assumed there would be a crowd of people detecting there.
Was happy with my permission’s last year.
Found my 1st Large Cent, shield nickel & Barber anything (dime).
