A great penny day for me...

I decided to take the Minelab to the yard that I found a 1900 Barber quarter earlier this year with my 250. I wasn't able to hit on any silver but I did find about a dozen wheats from the early teens.

A little while later a got a nice solid penny signal, but just a little off of where the wheats hit on average for me. In the hole was sitting my second ever IH cent... dated 1865. <: My earliest coin to date. :happydance01:

About 6 feet later I get another penny signal a lot like the last one. With my fingers crossed, I was hoping it would be the third IH of my metal detecting career... turns out to not only be my third, but fourth as well!! :peace: 1883 & 1887 in the same hole.

The '83 and '87 should clean up nicely. The '65 is a little rough.

Also got a tiny hammer and what appears to be a junk ring... no marking or stamp.

I suppose with all the nails I've dug in my life, it only seems reasonable that I would eventually dig a hammer too. lol

Well, the rain pushed me out from my hunt, but I think I'll plan on going back. There's gotta be more than that one silver I found there earlier. :confused:
 
I guess that machine is a keeper lol Love the hammer and if you ever need any nails, Del and I can surely spare some ;) Great day for you :clapping: Congrats on your oldest Indian and your quickly growing collection. :beerbuddy:
