    It Was an Indian Kind of Day

    Noah and I headed out Saturday morning for a little door knocking. The day started out slow, but seemed to get better as the day went on. Just as we were getting ready to call it a day, we decided to redo the house that I dug a Barber quarter & Seated half last year. I'm glad we did, I dug a Rosie & 2 Indians. Not sure how I missed them last time.
    Anyway, here are a few photos of my finds!!

    Don my man - you just keep on rolling. Impressive on the 7 IHs. You must have found nearly all the dates outside a few of the rarer 1860s/70s and the 1909S.

    Seven Indian Heads in one day is quite an accomplishment, Don! Four silver dimes isn't too shabby either, and both of your Mercs are early ones.

    I'm glad your weather was decent enough to get out. It rained all day here, then it turned to snow. Yuck.

    I like both of the tokens too. Good job!

    WTG on those indians, that's a great day of digging right there alone, not to mention adding silver to the mix.
