I went back to the farm today for a two hour hunt and finally found my first Indian for the year. It`s also my oldest coin that I`ve found on this farm. She`s got some nice detail on her too.

Congrats on the fatty!
But I think the new politically correct words for the coin are corpulent first american.
Nice job on the early indian Robbie, that's a lot of shells What's that thing behind the IH? It looks interesting.

Hey Robbie I have a similar pin like yours. I don't know anything about it. I'll have to find it. And like you I always threw my shotgun shells away until I saw Digger's link. Just look two of mine up I had laying around and they dated between 1915-1937! Pretty cool if you ask me! Sweet finds by the way!

Congrats on the "fat" indian head the "pin" item looks like a saddle strap guide , these could go back to the colonial era . I've recovered many at the sites i usually detect .

Nice. Still looking for a fatty. Since you mentioned about a ton of shellz on the surface. The prop I got I think the farm field was across the street from the house (cuz it is part of the parcel they own today) I didn't hit over there yet; I've only got about 2 hours there so far. The gf went the second time (or second hour) and found an area across from the house where a bunch of shells laid. I did mention a hunter was there before. Maybe it deserves a look by me (to clear the ok shell signals and I have more experience than her).
Nice fatty. It looks like a firefight to place there.....
