I hit a fairgrounds near me that is dated from the mid 1880's the other night. This place the last couple years has been good to me but I know it could be much much better. Unfortunately 80% of it has been regraded and then topped with asphalt grindings for parking. But I came across a fairly deep and consistent 21 signal that I was hoping was an indian. After widening the hole and pulling out some rusty wire I found a crusty indian. Resweeping I still got a low 20s VDI. widening the hole even more resulted in more rusty wire and a hole that resembled a bird bath! But I looked at the back end of my dirt pile and saw a silver quarter!

I bathed the Indians in boiling hydrogen peroxide and one is 1883 and the other is an 188X.

Thanks for looking! Jared
