Hit 14 on the 14th

[McCDig]

I'm very pleased to report to my TreasureNet friends that the Indian Head streak that began on December 1st was extended today to 7 consecutive hunts at this site with one or more Indians. For those who've followed this trek, you'll recall that some days it was as many as four Indians. Today I found just one coin amongst some truly vintage targets here, but it is a gem of an 1868 Indian Head cent!

Other targets included two tabs used possibly for shirt sleeve or collar, a man's shirt tab with distinctive horse tack motif of twin horse shoes and buckles, a lady's pin with missing centerpiece, and a badly decayed pocket knife from which I salvage the tortoise shell side-piece. Another productive hunt over two hours at what has become my new favorite Baltimore City park.

Thanks for checking out the pics!

Nice finds, you must know by now I love Indians but my favorite in your pix would have to be the turtle shell knife.

Thx Treblehunter! Not sure of the age on that knife, but the body was shot. The piece is actual turtle shell though and did not degrade over time. The only think I had to do for clean-up was to scrape off some of that iron oxide corrosion.

Dude you've been busy, that indian head is in great shape.

That's one heck of a site you have there. Turn the discrimination off and dig everything. There may be a gold coin there that you've missed. Great post by the way and congratulations

I was thinking golf when I read your title: "Hitting 14 on the 14th"; that would have been a disaster, but finding 14 IHs that a different story.
Congrats !!
