15 Indian Head Cents - Coppers - Silver

These are finds from my three recent hunts.

Thursday - Five Silver Coins And A Copper

I had some time on Thursday, so I took a drive to a site that had seemed promising. Once there though I soon soured on the site. Apparently most of the small square had been redone when an underground sprinkler system was added to the site. Most old coins that may have been there were likely now long gone. I still gave it a try, also working it along the edges, and picked up an old wheat cent. But it wasn't enough to keep my interest. I then headed to another small park, and from there I dug up a merc and a Roosevelt dime. Before heading home I made a stop at another site, and from there I dug up a 1817 large cent, a Washington quarter, a mercury dime, and a 1773 Spanish half reale.

Friday - 15 Indian Head Cents, 10 Wheat Cents, And A Mercury Dime

This Friday was a busy day for me, so I had not anticipated being able to go detecting. But then my afternoon commitment ended up being shorter than I had expected and I now had time to detect. However, I was in a suit and it was over an hour drive home. I did have my detector in the car trunk, as well as a pair of jeans and a pullover shirt. But no boots! >:{ Well, my dress shoes would have to do then. I changed, headed to a nearby park, and began to detect in fashion. :cheesysmile: I'm sure glad I decided to stay there, as I managed to dig up 15 Indian head cents, 10 wheat cents, and a 1916 mercury dime.

The Indian Head cents are dated 1863, 1882, 1884, 1885, 1888, 1892, 1896, 1899, 1903, 1906, 1906, 1906, 1907, 1907, and 1908.

Saturday - Four Coppers And A 1898 Barber Dime

Today afternoon I decided to revisit a site that had yielded several old coins during a few hunts last year. The day was perfect for it, with a slight breeze and just a bit on the cool side. It made for a pleasant time out. I spent about four hours at the site and picked up several keepers. The only silver I dug up is a 1898 Barber dime. The rest of the old coins are coppers - two large cents, a 1700's King George, and a 1787 Connecticut copper.

Not counting a Canadian copper and two unrecognizable corroded coppers, my total copper count this year stands at 37.

Look at those coins. Sweet IH Count, Amazing Spanish Silver!! Congrats on a couple great hunts!! Happy Hunting!!

[Tony Two-Cent]

Spectacular finds and great photos as always, Angel! I especially love the 1773 Half Reale. :loveit: There's just something about a 239-year-old silver coin that is dazzling!

Good job on the Indian Heads and large coppers too!

Too bad the 1916 Mercury Dime didn't have a D, but it still looks to be in beautiful shape!

Congrats on the terrific finds! <:

[Full Metal Digger]

Congrats Angel on more awesome finds. Would it be possible for you to do a group shot of all the Spanish silver you have found? Seems like you have found at least a dozen or so over the last few years (that I can remember anyway). Thanks and HH. Dave.

It's possible, but I will need to remember where I have them all as they are mixed in with other finds in different bags. 8/ There are about 15 or so Spanish silver coins, 13 of them found since 2010. :yes:

[aloldstuff]

Angel, sure would be nice to have a video of you in your digging clothes with the dress shoes on. Huge congrats on all those hunts, 15 IH's is out of this world. All last year I only managed 4. Your copper count for the year is also fantastic. But I think I have figured out the secret.......dress shoes

[jkress]

Angel, sure would be nice to have a video of you in your digging clothes with the dress shoes on.

I'm afraid so. lol Hey, Willy, I do plan to head out that way on a Saturday this year, so perhaps we can get together at one of the old parks down there.

Well, it must have been an odd sight judging by the looks I had been getting. lol But yeah, I was glad to have had the detector in the trunk. I don't usually take it with me on such occasions. :yes:
