I didn't have a lot of time to hunt today, so I returned to a nearby village hall that I've hunted many times in the past, just to see if I could find a few more keepers now that I know my E-Trac better.
My first good find of the day was a 12-46 signal right next to the sidewalk that was totally one-directional, but I decided to dig it anyway. I'm glad I did, it ended up being a 1924 Mercury Dime. Always dig those one-directional signals, especially if they sound really good from one direction.
My second good find was a fairly solid 11-33 Indian Head signal at 5 deep. Out popped a crusty Indian Head, and I could tell right away by the small date that it was an older one. I cleaned it up as best as could when I got home, and I'm 99% sure that it is an 1879.
Here are my finds for the day:
Here are a couple photos of the Indian Head. What do you think? 1879?
Here is the 1924 Mercury Dime:
This 1910 Wheatie came out of the ground looking much better than copper coins usually do around here:
That's it! Happy Hunting!
