pennies nickels dime

[McCDig]

Early Sunday hunt yields some oldies....

Got out early today to make a hunt happen before church.
Upon leaving my truck I glanced into the fenced zoo area to find, to my surprise, adult campers with tents pitched. That's a first for me. Didn't know the Maryland Zoo was allowing over-nighters within the fence.

Was digging the usual rusted iron and then got my first coin...a 1908 Barber dime. Over the next two hours I pulled two nickels (a no date V and a '48 Jeff, two wheats (1918 and 1929), and a United Railways and Electric Company streetcar token. Running out of time, I was thinking I may leave the field without an IHP, but I headed back to where I dug the Barber and unearthed an 1887 IHP, my thirteenth Indian of June.

Thanks for checking out this post. Happy Hunting!

You were smart to go back and get the IHC, McCDig. It might just be the right 1887...

Thanks tuberale! I recorded video/audio of the hunt and was confusing the IHP with an 1870 something date. When I saw and 8 and a 7 my mind got ahead of me and I thought I may have the long-awaited 1877, but not this time.

Congrats on digging those keeper coins. You've got some sweet sites.

Thanks L-D! Took your advice and headed back to the sweet spot. May get one more shot at it after work tomorrow.
