    No silver today but I got a decent keeper

    It's the first 1876 Indian head cent that I've found and it really made my day. It was at the same park that I found an 1876 half back in March, this park doesn't have a lot but this year I've gotten 2 1876's which are the oldest coins that I've found in this park. Now I need the quarter and the dime

    Good job on the first nation head coin...she is a keeper!
    From the land of the Bluenose.....life is a beach at least till the tide comes in and the Bud is all gone. Swish and dig at the drop of a dime!
