I had a mission!!!!

[DennisH]

I had a mission, 100 Indian pennies in one year!!! Was not the plan at the begining of the year, it just kinda sneaked up on me. Sweet.

It was a great day Sunday (in the middle of December), ground was moist and thawed, a light dusting of snow so you can do a good gridding pattern and know where you have been. I was at 97 Indians and needed 3 more for 100 with 8 hours of hunting time in front of me. Life is good. 7:00 in the morning and the hunt was on.

I had my 3 Indians and a Merc in about 1 1/2 to 2 hours into the hunt. That made the rest of the day gravy. The pressure was off.

Patric showed up soon after and we went looking for hot spots over looked the last 40 years. We did get to one spot that gave up about 8 to 10 wheats, a Merc, a Indian and a SLQ. I had a great time and thanks again Patric.

Sunday's haul was 4 Indians, 2 Mercs (1918d & 1825d) a slick SLQ, and 27 wheat pennies ( 2 of them 1909, a 1910 and a very nice 1917d) And a sterling ear ring as heavy as a silver quarter.

Have a great holiday all.

Thanks CODY, I was very luck to come across 3 differnt constrution sites that were very giving this year. One rip up removed 12 plus inchs on dirt from the terrance and I found double digit Indians that were still up to 6 inches deep. Makes me wonder how many coins are still out there but to deep to find with todays machines:huh:

Dennis, congrats on getting to that 100 IH plateau. That is a great milestone to reach. Very nice silvers and a huge pile of wheats. |:cheering:

These coins with the inscription LIBERTY - I really like :perfect10:



We no have coins in 1918.
This year in the Russian Empire was anarchy and civil war. No one is doing in our coins in 1918.

One hundred Indian Heads is an amazing accomplishment, Dennis! Congrats on the impressive total! I love finding Indian Heads, I can't even imagine finding 50 in one year let alone 100!

I love the SLQ too, it's one of my favorite coins and I haven't found one in forever.

Congrats on the great finds! :clapping:

Congrats on the impressive IH milestone, and the silver as well. Sounds like some sweet hunting grounds you've got there.
