Went back to the field that I got rained out of on Sat. after finding a LC and two IHs. Started out with two IHs- one was laying on top of the ground :omg: think one is an 1874 the other is an 1865 I thought >:{ off by one year of making the fourth different style of cent in two hunts but happy to have it thumbsup01 finished going one direction then thought I would zig zag back and forth the opposite direction- hit a good nickle tone and # an 1945 nickle :dontknow: next pass another nickle tone and # dug it out popped what I thought was another token- thought two small for nickle got home and cleaned it and :shocked04: :shocked04: my first shield nickle :happydance01: :happydance01: then on the last pass hit another FE tone and # thought :drool: thought it's probably another piece of copper and then I saw a coin :omg: not an FE but a nice 1863 fatty again :happydance01: Do not know what the small hole'd thingy is- looks like words on one side nothing on other :dontknow: I am loving this copper streak

I can still see them fine Spike. :yes: Very sweet finds! thumbsup01 I do love those old cents. :smitten:

By the way, are you just loading the photos after saving them to your computer from the camera? There are a few free image programs you can use to turn the images. Give this one (http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm) a try. It's an image viewer and editor. :yes:

Fantastic finds! Wow! Those earlier Indian Heads are hard to find in my neighborhood. Congrats!

Do you tumble your coins? I'm curious as to what they look like before you clean them. I'm trying to decide if I want to clean my finds thoroughly or just rinse the worst of the dirt off.
