For me it's Indians. I dig the signals and they always turn out to be wheats, zincs or worn copper memorials. Last year I got more large coppers than Indians. So far this year it's 4 coppers- 3 Indians and the 3 indians were found in the same hole. I'm not complaining though but I do wish I dug few more of them

I almost never find silver Rosie's or GWs. Probably a good indicator that most of the spots I get to have been Cherry Picked pretty thoroughly.

I'm at zero Indians for the year right now. So I guess I can fall into that category as well. I never find any toe taps either.

No SLQs for me. I bet Tony has found as many SLQs as I have ox knobs.
Hey I wonder if the mccormick reaper allowed people to ditch oxen in favor of horses just as the mid west was settled..? Makes sense in my dimly lit world

Possibly the reaper gave a slight decline in oxen which was in the mid 1800s. The push out west for farming had to do with it too. And then the final thing was the tractor after the internal combustion engine built and sold commercially. Weren't farmers still plowing fields with oxen regardless if they used horses for the harvest up until tractors came along? Just adding speculation here.Hey I wonder if the mccormick reaper allowed people to ditch oxen in favor of horses just as the mid west was settled..? Makes sense in my dimly lit world
