Went to the old ball park and first found that great .925 necklace then about 20 minutes latter hit this old indian head. It's toast but its my first and to me it's perfect lol.

Congrats on the finds. Most of the IHs I dig are toasted too. Some soil just isn't kind to them.
 

Congrats on the IH cent! Try soaking it in some boiling or hot hydrogen peroxide a few times. It may reveal a lot more detail than you think.
 

Looks like it was sitting in fertilizer @ some point in time. Your next one will be better : )
 

fertilizer sure is hard on coins
 

Looks like a nice candidate for a rock tumbler with pea gravel!
