Hey guys! Today was another awesome day! I started my adventure at 7:30am in the morning. I really wanted to go detecting today because it was suppose to be really sunny today! I ended up at another soccer field that I have not hit before and I went at it! :) I dug so many quarters it is unbelievable! No silver today though. I then decide to go to Veterans Memorial Field, which has been pounded to death by me. I dug a quarter and a penny out of that field. While driving home, I wanted to go to another spot, but decided to go home since I had been hunting for three hours.

Once getting home, I let the dog outside and went on Yahoo Messenger to chat with JuJu. JuJu told me that he was going to go hunting. I immediatly asked if I could go. He said yes. I put the dog back in the laundry room, then I was off on yet another adventure to Tacoma to detect with my buddy, JuJu. Traffic was horrible going down, everyone was at a none stop pace for 10-20 minutes. Turns out someone had just had an accident, which was sad.

After awhile, I arrived at JuJu's house. JuJu had two spots that he wanted to check out. We checked those out and got nothing. JuJu then led us to another spot that has been kicking out a lot of old coins between him and I.

I don't recall how long we were into our hunt, but I got an Iffy signal that was 7 inches deep. I decided to dig it anyway and out popped a 1905 indian head penny!!!!!!! I was almost having a heart attack when I found the coin! I yelled to JuJu and he told me to calm down! I was doing the happy dance while sitting down! My heart was racing at the speed of light! I did not know that I would dig an indian head penny today, but I did!

After all the excitement, JuJu took the picture and then we started to hunt more. 10-20 minutes after I got my indian head penny, JuJu yelled at me to come over. JuJu had a really good nickle signal that he dug. It was deep too, the hole was 9 inches, if I do recall. JuJu uncovered a really old nickle! :) He will tell you more about it in his post! :)

Today, was a good day overall and the temperatures even held out for us! March madness is over for metal detecting and tonight I will pause and enjoy a coke (Coca Cola). ;D

Great Indian find there dude. Did juju capture you doing your 'Happy Dance' when you found the penny? How many quarters did you find at the first park?

Man I thought you were gonna pass out. Ya know I saw that indian up close with a jewelers loup and know the date is 1905. Your bottom pic sure makes it look like 1885. Thats pretty tricky.

Congrats on your first IH! :thumbsup: Like others here, I remember my first one. It was 34 years ago this summer, with many more since then.

Good luck on your future finds! Like all of us, you will never forget your first ones. Do you have a check list for all your firsts?

Thanks for showing us! HH

I can guarantee you would have never said that a couple of weeks ago! ;D ;D ;D

I'm glad everything is working out with your SE now, DF! Don't pass up those "iffies".

Congrats on your first Injun!
