Hit a field that I hunted three times before with no luck at all nothing but I know there was a house there so something is there to be found so I took a differant detector this time and I was about done when got a good tone and # again for a fat IH or a FE and sure enough 5-6 inchs down was one of if not my best shape IH yet and its a fat one another 1863
Now that's a sweet find! I've never found a fatty Indian Head so I have to live vicariously through others! lol
Doesn't look like it had much wear on it when it was lost either, must have been dropped not long after it was minted.
Congrats on a great find!
