    My First June Hunt. Indians & a Patriotic FOB

    We went out Saturday to a town that I hit very hard a few years ago. We decided to focus on the smaller houses in the middle of the block.
    We got a few permissions but I only found coins at 2 houses.
    The first house produced a 1951 Washington and 2 Indians. An 1892 & 1897.
    The second house was very old and very small. My first good hole was a spill, 3 Indians and an old bullet. I have no idea what kind of bullet it is , but the Indians were 1899,1874 & 1889.
    I also dug a very cool Fob that cleaned up very well. Daddy Digger told me that it is a Patriotic Fob with Lady Liberty's head from around 1910. My best find of the day!!!
